Bug Reporting

Simple Troubleshooting steps BR

  • Check that you are using the environment you mean to be using. If you sourced an environment, you will see nmr-std-env or nmr-dev-env in your command line. Also, run "which <program name>" with the program you are trying to use to make sure you are using one in /usr/local/freesurfer or /space/freesurfer.

  • Try your command again in a new terminal. Re-source your environment, and re-type your command fully to avoid copying in prior typos.
  • If the failure occured with a job submitted to seychelles, try to run the job locally.

Submitting a request for help BR

When submitting a request for help with your problems please be aware that the developers will try and repeat your error in order to fix it.
