External Email - Use Caution        

We would also like to know about any issues you are seeing on Ubuntu..

I think Ubuntu eliminated some jpeg/png packages from their repos.  Those 
can be downloaded and installed manually,e.g., 
libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb, libjpeg62_6b2-3_amd64.deb.  That 
is part of the reason we made an Ubuntu 18 VM available with everything 
pre-installed. 
The VM is essentially what has been used for the freesurfer course which runs 
mostly freeview commands with some mri* commands (though I believe a recon-all 
also works).  The VM is running binaries built on CentOS7 - as the 
reference platforms for freesurfer dev are currently CentOS and MacOS.  We 
are looking at making a .deb installer for freesurfer on Ubuntu though.
There is some info on the wiki about packages required to compile the source on 
Ubuntu - but you don’t need all of these to run (even the CentOS) binaries.

       Hi Tristan,I'm about to setup a 
FreeSurfer installation on an Ubuntu system, and I wondered whether you could 
elaborate on the kind of issues you are experiencing.Best,Tim--Dr. Tim

       Is there going to be an "official" 
Ubuntu build this time around (as in, built and tested in Ubuntu) that isn't 
the VM? Both the current CentOS and the dev builds continue to have issues 
(even when compiled from scratch) on my Ubuntu 18.04 
servers.Thanks!T________________________________From:

FreeSurfer V 7.0 on Centos 8       External 
Email - Use CautionHello Mina,I see from 
https://www.centosblog.com/centos-eol-dates/ that CentOS 6 will no longer be 
updated as of 11/2020, and similarly for CentOS 7 in 6/2024.  It looks 
like CentOS 8 was released around September of 2019.While we do not currently 
build/test on CentOS8, I am sure it will eventually be supported. 
  Given some users will continue to use CentOS 6 even after 11/2020 
and that many people have been running the freesurfer 6 release on CentOS6, 
then even the upcoming freesurfer 7 release is targeting CentOS6, CentOS7 and 
Ubuntu linux (as well as Mac OS).There is also currently an Ubuntu 18 VM with 
freesurfer 6 and the beta release of freesurfer 7 pre-installed which you can 
find here, https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/VM_67- R.On Mar 30, 2020,
