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)

Open

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
source $FREESURFER_HOME/SetUpFreeSurfer.sh

save

chmod +x .bashrc

…can test with echo "hellow world"
