[MNE-Python] Pr25 Participants instructions

Hello Natalie and Marijn,

First of all thank you for all the informations and guides provided.

I have followed the instructions on the github read me.
I am on Windows 11, I used VSCode to open and run 0-Installation_check.ipynb, everything runs ok except the last cell which has thrown an error:

ValueError: Error loading surface from c:\Users\…\mne_practical_meeg_2025-main\extra_data_mne\freesurfer\sub-01\bem\outer_skin.surf (see Terminal for details).

When I go up in the exception chain I see this error:

ValueError: File does not appear to be a Freesurfer surface

I have checked the file path, and it’s correct.

Do you have an idea of what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot!
