Hi Danny, The SUBJECTS_DIR variable defines the path to a directory where freesurfer recon data is stored for a particular study. When setting this path variable, you don’t need to include the <> brackets.
After sourcing freesurfer, start by making a sample directory and defining your SUBJECTS_DIR like this: mkdir test_subjects export SUBJECTS_DIR=/path/to/test_subjects then try running a sample recon: cd ${FREESURFER_HOME}/subjects recon-all -i sample-001.nii.gz -s bert -all best, Andrew On Nov 7, 2017, at 7:19 PM, Danny Deng <dannytang...@gmail.com<mailto:dannytang...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi developers, I just installed the software and there are so many problems I wish to seek help from you when I tried “Test your freesurfer installation” on the website Example 2 I tried several commands as follow but all failed: 1.
