Hi Rosalia

you either need to give recon-all an input file (or more than one) with the -i switch, or create the subject directory tree under SUBJECTS_DIR for that subject, and put a file named 001.mgz in the mri/orig subdir. Note you can also specify SUBJECTS_DIR explicitly on the recon-all command line with -sd <dir>
if you don't want to put it in the environment.

That is, try this:

recon-all -s 001 -autorecon1 -sd ~/Desktop/subjects

cheers

Dear Free Surfer team,

Surely this is a basic question but I am having a trouble setting the 
subjects_dir in my terminal
and, as a result, any of the commands work.

This is how I have my Free Surfer configurated in my computer:

-------- freesurfer-Linux-centos6_x86_64-stable-pub-v6.0.0-2beb96c --------
Setting up environment for FreeSurfer/FS-FAST (and FSL)
FREESURFER_HOME   /usr/local/freesurfer
FSFAST_HOME       /usr/local/freesurfer/fsfast
FSF_OUTPUT_FORMAT nii.gz
SUBJECTS_DIR      /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects
MNI_DIR           /usr/local/freesurfer/mni
FSL_DIR           /usr/share/fsl/5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----

As it is, I cannot work in the SUBJECTS_DIR, as it is protected.
I tried to set a new subjects_dir:
export SUBJECTS_DIR=/home/rosalia/Desktop

Then I try to run the first step (autorecon1) with one subject, and it appears 
the following error:
rosalia@rosalia-Lenovo-Y520-15IKBN ~/Desktop/subjects $ recon-all -s 001 
-autorecon1
ERROR: cannot find /usr/local/freesurfer/subjects/001
rosalia@rosalia-Lenovo-Y520-15IKBN ~/Desktop/subjects $

I have even changed my .bashrc file...but it seems I am doing something wrong 
as my terminal keeps
pointing to the same subject_dir.
I have tried to use sudo so in order to move my folder and subfolders to the 
subjects_dir set by
default, and I am experiencing problems as well.

I would much appreciate any help with this basic question.
Kind regards,
Rosalia
