You can copy you tgz to /usr/local or in the directory where the tgz is execute tar -C /usr/local -xzvf f reesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1-full.tar.gz

Hello,

I am trying to reinstall FS, and I am having some difficulties. When I type in the following command:

cd /usr/local

tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz

(replacing the -<platform>-<release> with my Linux variant which is freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1)

I get the following error:

tar: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1-full.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Please can you advise me on how to correct this?

Thank you kindly

Fatima

I think you should grab some help from you local sys admin or some linux user

You can try this PPT from Allison's talk in the FreeSurfer course: http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/Sept2009CourseSchedule?a... http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/Sept2009CourseSchedule?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=boston_fs_course_jan2009.jpgor use the attached cheat sheet

If I could, I would!! But there is no one here on a regular basis that knows Linux! Thank you for trying to help. I was just reading the instructions for the installations, and I typed this command in:

tar tzf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz

and that worked absolutely fine, it showed the contents of the tar.gz file which is said it would do and then it said:

“The tar.gz file will extract to a directory called 'freesurfer'. Installing into the directory /usr/local is recommended” but how would it extract to the directory called ‘freesurfer’? I honestly have no idea how to run this program!

Sigh, thank you for trying to help.
