What you should do before installing MMVT (and FreeSurfer) on Ubuntu

If you have problems installing the guest additions, in the terminal run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc make perl dkms sudo usermod -aG vboxsf userName reboot

Python3 is already installed on unubtu (at least on ubuntu18), here is what you should run before installing MMVT:

• sudo apt install python3-distutils python3-testresources python3-tk
• sudo python3 mmvt_root/mmvt_code/resources/get-pip.py

For FreeSurfer to work, you should:

• sudo apt-get install csh tcsh
• wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
• sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb
• sudo rm /tmp/libpng12.deb
• sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev

To create the MMVT launcher, you need to run:

• sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel

• gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop

• sudo chown -R user:user mmvt_root/
