We have always untarred up to 7.1.0 and used it successfully. This was the good thing about FreeSurfer that did not require a client side installation. I am the administrator and I can tell you that installation of this software via root is infeasible for 100 computers.
Given your comment about 7.4.1 tarball being not installer, we want to know--has the installation mechanism changed since 7.4.1?
Best, Tashrif
I just checked that the only additional step you recommend is:
apt-get install ./freesurfer_ubuntu22-7.4.1_amd64.deb
Sourcing the rest have remained the same. So why can you not also upload the tar ball?

Yes, we have puppet. But we need to figure out how to install your rpm file outside of /usr/local/ so it can be mounted across 100 computers. -Tashrif ________________________________ From: Billah, Tashrif tbillah@bwh.harvard.edu Sent: Wednesday, April 9, 2025 3:44 PM To: freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: Re: [Freesurfer] nu_correct error: Can't locate Sys/Hostname.pm in @INC
