I think you can try to use mris_register directly. https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mris_register

It looks like surfreg checks if target is 'fsaverage_sym'. Can you try passing just 'fsaverage_sym'?

I'm hoping to use the surfreg function on some data in which I can't make any modifications to the subject directory (I'm using a cluster and the data is for public use thus prohibits any changes to it). I want to use the fsaverage_sym as my target file, though the function seems to only be looking for this folder within the subjects directory. Thus when running the following command: surfreg --s 126426 --t /project/60019995/coopapap/data/HCP/fsaverage_sym --lh I get the following error: ERROR: cannot find /project/60019995/coopapap/data/HCP/fsaverage_sym in /tmp/HCP I'm wondering if there is a workaround to using this command even when I can't make any modifications to the subjects directory. To summarize, I'd like all outputs to go to a personal folder, and I'd like to use a template file that is in my personal folder. Thank you kindly. Asa Farahani
