External Email - Use Caution        

Dear Valerian,

I believe this was fixed in the development version of Freesurfer after the 
release of 7.4.1.

The direct link to the package installer for the most recently nightly build of 
the apple silicon development version is
https://surfer.nmr.mgh..harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer/dev/freesurfer-macOS-darwin_arm64-dev.pkg

Or you can find the full list of development packages by going to the Download 
and Install page and looking for the Development Versions link under Other 
Versions.
https://freesurfer.net/fswiki/DownloadAndInstall

For installation I’ve pasted below some instructions from a recent Freesurfer 
list response.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Henry

Installation instructions
Right click on the file freesurfer-macOS-darwin_arm64-dev.pkg and select “Open 
with —> installer.app (default)” which should bypass some of the security 
warnings.  Then follow the prompts to install (you will need to enter an admin 
password).

Then setup the freesurfer environment as usual, setting FREESURFER_HOME, 
sourcing the setup script.  Using this installer should avoid any error 
messages with “illegal instruction" from running the Intel binaries, e.g., from 
the 7.4.1 release.

Subject: [Freesurfer] mri_synthseg on Mac M3

⚠ Caution: External sender


        External Email - Use Caution
Dear Freesurfer Community,

I am new to using Freesurfer and obtained version 7.4.1 to try white and grey 
matter segmentation with the help of mri_synthseg.
I am running it on an Apple M3 chip under Sonoma 14.5.
However, if I try to run mri_synthseg I get the error “illegal instruction”.
I also tried to run Freesurfer 7.4.1 in Docker using the x86 (amd64) 
architecture but when trying the command mri_synthseg I still receive the error 
“illegal instruction”. Also, opening the terminal using Rosetta did not change 
the outcome.

I would very much appreciate your help and avice.

Kind regards,
Valerian Altersberger
