Creating a new Ubuntu 20 VM
Centos was killled by RedHat or someone, so we are moving to Ubuntu, as of 2021.
Using VMWare Workstation, create a new instance of Ubuntu.
Run all the software updates (search for “Software Updater”; I like to “Add to Favorites to show it on the Taskbar equivalent)
I also add “Terminal” to favorites
Freesurfer
deb package did not work
use tare
in root, /usr/local/freesurfer folder
in home of user, create login script:
gedit .bashrc
export FREESURFER_HOME=/usr/local/freesurfer
