This page is targeted at those who wish to develop and build the freesurfer source code on their Linux platform. These instructions have been tested for CentOS6 x86_64 desktop edition.

Contents

  1. Get the Source Code
  2. Download and Install the Libraries
  3. Setup, Configure, Make

1. Get the Source Code

If you already have a working local copy of the CVS repository then you can skip this step. 

# Local CVS access:
$> export CVSROOT=/space/repo/1/dev
$> cvs checkout -P dev

# Or for remote access:
$> export CVSROOT=:ext:USER@door.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/space/repo/1/dev
$> cvs checkout -P dev

Or, you can get readonly CVS access to the source code by following the directions on this page:

2. Download and Install the Libraries

The following packages are required before building. 

$> yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
$> yum install mesa-libGLU-devel \
            freetype-devel.x86_64 \
            libuuid-devel.x86_64 \
            uuid-c++-devel.x86_64 \
            libXmu-devel.x86_64 \
            libXi-devel.x86_64 \
            lapack-devel.x86_64 \
            liblapack-devel.x86_64 \
            libXaw-devel.x86_64 \
            libpng-devel.x86_64

Download and install the prepackaged bundle of open-source libraries required for building Freesurfer: 

$> wget ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/fs_supportlibs/prebuilt/centos6_x86_64/centos6-x86_64-packages.tar.gz
$> sudo mkdir -p /usr/pubsw/packages
$> sudo tar -C /usr/pubsw/packages -xzvf centos6-x86_64-packages.tar.gz

Lastly, some system will complain about a missing jpeg library. If this happens, create the following symbolic link: 

$> cd /usr/lib64
$> sudo ln -s libjpeg.so.62 libjpeg.so

3. Setup, Configure, Make

Determine the location you want Freesurfer to be installed. For example, in case case we will assume the user wants freesurfer to be installed in /home/USER/freesurfer. Type the following commands in the top-level Freesurfer directory (the directory that contains configure.in and all the mri_* and mris_* directories.) 

$> ./setup_configure
$> ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/freesurfer
$> make -j4
$> make install
