There are three main internal distributions of FreeSurfer available at the NMR Center. To use a distribution, set your FREESURFER_HOME environment variable to the directory of the distribution and then source the FreeSurferEnv.csh file in that distribution. For example: [[FreeSurferWiki|top]]

== Distributions ==
The InternalFreeSurferDistributions are 'stable' and 'dev'. Please see ReleasePolicy for information on the release policy for these distributions.

== Access ==
Here are instructions on how to set-up your environment to use the InternalFreeSurferDistributions.

All computers on the Martinos Center NMR network should have the directory '''/usr/local/freesurfer'''. Inside there, you will see the files '''nmr-stable53-env''' and '''nmr-dev-env'''. Sourcing these will set up your environment to use the stable or dev version, respectively. For example, to use the stable version, which is what most users should do, use the following setup command:
Line 4: Line 13:
setenv FREESURFRER_HOME ~inverse/freesurfer_alpha
source $FREESURFER_HOME/FreeSurferEnv.csh
$ source /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-stable53-env
Line 8: Line 16:
Note that you may still have to set up your path. Be sure you are using the right binaries with the {{{which}}} command. '''NOTE:''' Do not put this command in your .cshrc file! If /usr/local/freesurfer is down for whatever reason, then your login will not work.
Line 10: Line 18:
See
 * FreeSurferAlpha
 * FreeSurferBeta
 * FreeSurferDev
You should see the prompt change to {{{(nmr-stable53-env)}}} and your environment should then be set up to run FreeSurfer. Note that the programs may appear to be in a different location:

{{{
$ which freeview
/space/freesurfer/centos6_x86_64/stable5_3_0/bin/freeview
}}}

That's OK, because {{{/usr/local/freesurfer}}} is actually a link to a platform specific version that resides in a different directory, much like how {{{/usr/pubsw}}} works. If you don't know what this means, don't worry.

Your {{{FREESURFER_HOME}}} will actually be {{{/usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0}}} or {{{/usr/local/freesurfer/dev}}}, so if you'd like to set {{{FREESURFER_HOME}}} manually, you can still do so.

You can suppress output from sourcing these scripts with the {{{FS_FREESURFERENV_NO_OUTPUT}}} environment variable:

{{{
setenv FS_FREESURFERENV_NO_OUTPUT
}}}

You can keep the prompt from changing to {{{(nmr-stable53-env)}}} or {{{(nmr-dev-env)}}} by setting {{{FSENV_KEEP_PROMPT}}}:

{{{
setenv FSENV_KEEP_PROMPT
}}}

== Frozen Version ==

Users are strongly encouraged to "Freeze" their copy of !FreeSurfer in a project-specific directory like their SUBJECTS_DIR. To make a copy, just download the public distribution from ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer


== Obsolete Versions ==

There are the older versions that are still available for compatibility, see the Archives section of the public download page.

FreeSurfer Distributions for Internal Users

Distributions

The InternalFreeSurferDistributions are 'stable' and 'dev'. Please see ReleasePolicy for information on the release policy for these distributions.

Access

Here are instructions on how to set-up your environment to use the InternalFreeSurferDistributions.

All computers on the Martinos Center NMR network should have the directory /usr/local/freesurfer. Inside there, you will see the files nmr-stable53-env and nmr-dev-env. Sourcing these will set up your environment to use the stable or dev version, respectively. For example, to use the stable version, which is what most users should do, use the following setup command:

$ source /usr/local/freesurfer/nmr-stable53-env

NOTE: Do not put this command in your .cshrc file! If /usr/local/freesurfer is down for whatever reason, then your login will not work.

You should see the prompt change to (nmr-stable53-env) and your environment should then be set up to run FreeSurfer. Note that the programs may appear to be in a different location:

$ which freeview
/space/freesurfer/centos6_x86_64/stable5_3_0/bin/freeview

That's OK, because /usr/local/freesurfer is actually a link to a platform specific version that resides in a different directory, much like how /usr/pubsw works. If you don't know what this means, don't worry.

Your FREESURFER_HOME will actually be /usr/local/freesurfer/stable5_3_0 or /usr/local/freesurfer/dev, so if you'd like to set FREESURFER_HOME manually, you can still do so.

You can suppress output from sourcing these scripts with the FS_FREESURFERENV_NO_OUTPUT environment variable:

setenv FS_FREESURFERENV_NO_OUTPUT

You can keep the prompt from changing to (nmr-stable53-env) or (nmr-dev-env) by setting FSENV_KEEP_PROMPT:

setenv FSENV_KEEP_PROMPT

Frozen Version

Users are strongly encouraged to "Freeze" their copy of FreeSurfer in a project-specific directory like their SUBJECTS_DIR. To make a copy, just download the public distribution from ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/freesurfer

Obsolete Versions
