Nate,
Try typing the following from the command window:
export FREESURFER_HOME=/Applications/freesurfer
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh
Or, you can add these lines to your .bashrc file in your home directory by
using any text editor, or by typing the following in the command line:
echo "export FREESURFER_HOME=/Applications/freesurfer" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
Once these lines are in your .bashrc file, freesurfer will load everytime
you open the terminal program.
