FreeSurfer Linux Installation

Viewing contents

To view the contents of a distribution, once downloaded, type:

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

replacing <platform>-<release> with whatever is appropriate. The 'tar tzf' command will not install the contents, just show the contents of the tar.gz file.

Installing contents

The tar.gz file will extract to a directory called 'freesurfer'. Installing into the directory /usr/local is recommended. To install, mv the tar.gz file to whereever you wish to install freesurfer (in this example /usr/local) and type:

cd /usr/local
tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz

Again, replacing <platform>-<release> with your Linux variant.

Note that for this installation example, your FREESURFER_HOME becomes:

setenv FREESURFER_HOME /usr/local/freesurfer

Reminder to NMR Center users! You already have FreeSurfer installed on your system!

Freesurfer license file

A license file is required to enable the tools. One can be obtained for free by registering at:

https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html

Upon receiving the license information by email, copy the three lines of the license information to a file named .license (that's DOT license) and copy that file to your $FREESURFER_HOME.

Setup and Configuration

Next: setup and configure FreeSurfer.
