# Data to Download: Get the tutorial data pointed to at Slicer User Training 101 page [http://share.spl.harvard.edu/share/birn/public/software/tutorial-with-dicom.zip tutorial-with-dicom.zip], and the FreeSurfer example datasets [https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pub/dist/slicer-tutdat/subjects.zip subjects.zip] that are necessary for the second half of the Workshop.

We will be happy to assist anybody who may encounter difficulties in the installation process.
