Hi all

I'm a new freesurfer user and I have some troubles installing the program.

after moving to

cd /usr/local

I typed freesurfer-virtual:~> tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz

replacing <platform>-<release> with

freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1

I get  the following error message


Cannot 
>> open: No such file or directory
>> 
>> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
>> 

>> tar: Child returned status 2
>> 
>> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


I don´t know exactly what I'm doing wrong, this may happen because I'm not in the right directory or something?
How can I get informnation about my Linux and Freesurfer software version.




Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
