bash-3.2$ pwd
/Users/MarjaCaverle/Desktop/MRI

(this means that I am in the right one right?)

Not really someone near, furthermore, almost no one uses mac. I did some analysis a few months back, and it worked just fine, but now I get these errors. I intentionally did not update to Sierra yet, because I was afraid that it might give problems with Freesurfer. Do you think I should update?

you probably aren't in the MRI dir. What does the command:

pwd


return? And are there any mac-savvy users that can help you out nearby?

Hi Bruce,

After downloading, I have put the files in those folders, and I can see them. Furthermore, when I go to
the folder and then do the ls command, they are listed as being there. however the command looking for
all files with the .nii extension says there are no files there. I don't understand how this is
possible, do you?

Thanks for helping out.

      Hi Marja

      you need to figure out where the input files are! How do you know they are there? Can you
      run:

      ls  -l /Desktop/MRI/*.nii*

            Hi Bruce,

            that command also says there is no file or directory:
