| 1. Obtain a license key from http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html or from a previous installation. If you are using a previous installation, the license file is found in the main freesurfer directory and is called '.license'. | = FreeSurfer Linux Installation = |

| 4. The default subjects directory (the directory in which your subjects' data will be placed) is freesurfer/subjects. You may wish set to up your installation differently, e.g. if you have a large external hard drive you want to use for subject data. See the [wiki:Self:SetupConfiguration 'Setup and Configuration'] section for details. Regardless, cd into your subjects directory (the default is called 'subjects', located within the freesurfer installation directory) and enter the commands: | A license file is required to enable the tools.

| !FreeSurfer uses some of the tools developed at the Montreal Neurological Institue (MNI) (http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca) to align antomical volumes (using minctracc) and to compute the Talairach transform (using mritotal). You must have the MNI tools installed to be able to access this functionality through !FreeSurfer. Refer to the file ftp://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/mni.srcbuild.README.txt for more information on building the MINC toolkit from the source code. |

FreeSurfer Linux Installation
Viewing contents
To view the contents of a distribution, once downloaded, type:
tar tzf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz
replacing <platform>-<release> with whatever is appropriate. The 'tar tzf' command will not install the contents, just show the contents of the tar.gz file.
Installing contents
The tar.gz file will extract to a directory called 'freesurfer'. To install, mv the tar.gz file to whereever you wish to install freesurfer, and type:
tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz
Again, replacing <platform>-<release> with your Linux variant.
Freesurfer license file
A license file is required to enable the tools. One can be obtained for free by registering at:
http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/registration.html
Upon receiving the license information by email, copy the three lines of the license information to a file named .license (thats DOT license) and copy that file to your $FREESURFER_HOME.
