This page describes how to update Freeview within a FreeSurfer v6 installation.

Linux

  1. Go into your $FREESURFER_HOME/bin and create a backup of your existing freeview.bin file (this may require sudo access): 

    cd $FREESURFER_HOME/bin
cp freeview.bin freeview.bin.BKP

  2. Download the latest "development version" of Freeview using the following link. Again, overwriting the origin freeview.bin file may require sudo access:

    freeview.bin

  3. Make sure the new freeview.bin file is made executable. This is acheived via the following command: 

    $FREESURFER_HOME/bin
chmod a+x freeview.bin
