Quick Start

Freeview is started by invoking it from the command line. The user must first source the developmental (updated regularly) version of Freesurfer by opening a terminal window and typing (or copy-pasting) this command:

source  /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-dev-env

The user must next navigate to the directory in which the volume is saved in order to open it. Example:

cd /autofs/space/rainbow_002/users/hires/FHS19_ec_amyg_032808/mri/flash

Be sure to type the command sp in order to set this directory as the one in which to save changes and/or new volumes. After that, open the desired volume using the command:

freeview -v volumename.mgz
