- Download XQuartz for Mac - An open-source project that brings you a version of the X.org X Window System which runs on the Mac OS X platform without requiring any additional libraries.
- Apple created the XQuartz project as a community effort to further develop and support X11 on Mac. The XQuartz project was originally based on the version of X11 included in Mac OS X v10.5. There have since been multiple releases of XQuartz with fixes, support for new features, and additional refinements to the X11 experience.
About X11 for Mac: X11 is no longer included with Mac, but X11 server and client libraries are available from the XQuartz project. For more information:

After you source freesurfer you should see some output similar to the window below:
If you use freesurfer frequently and want to avoid typing the above lines of code every time you open a terminal window, you can create a file called .profile in your home directory which contains those two line. This will cause the terminal window to automatically source freesurfer every time it is opened.
At this point you are ready to begin using the freesurfer software. If you haven't done so already, obtain a license, and copy the license.txt file into your $FREESURFER_HOME (Applications/freesurfer) directory.
See the this page for some example commands to test that FreeSurfer is installed and running properly.

1)To download the patch, follow instructions on using the ftp file exchange from this wiki page.
2) Remove your existing Freeview.app application bundle by sending it to the trash (and then emptying the trash).You can also do this from the terminal by cd'ing to the top-level ./freesurfer subdirectory and then doing
3) Copy the new Freeview.app.zip to where your old Freeview.app was located and uncompress it (so it becomes the replacement Freeview.app in your current FreeSurfer installation).
4) Remove ./freesurfer/lib/gcc/lib/libgomp.1.dylib from your existing freesurfer installation.
5) Copy the ./freesurfer/lib/gcc/lib/libgomp.1.dylib from the patch archive to /freesurfer/lib/gcc/lib in your current freesurfer installtion.
6) Try running the Freeview.app and loading a volume with it.
