on the Mac, freesurfer is installed as root, so you will have to change file permissions for that dir like this:

cd /Applications/freesurfer/subjects sudo chmod -R a+w bert

(or sudo chown -R <yourloginname> bert)

n.

Dear Freesurfer users,

I installed Freesurfer and now I am trying to test the installation. When I type <recon-all -s bert -all>, I get an error

<ERROR: you do not have write permission to /Applications/freesurfer/subjects/bert>

But actually I do have write permission to this folder. Do you have any idea what can be wrong? Or what else should I check regarding installation to understand where this problem comes from?

Thank you for your time, Tetiana. _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
