You can copy you tgz to /usr/local or in the directory where the tgz is execute

tar -C /usr/local -xzvf freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1-full.tar.gz

Ok, how do I get it in there?

My guess is: your tgz is not in /usr/local

Hello,

I am trying to reinstall FS, and I am having some difficulties. When I type in the following command:

cd /usr/local

tar xzvf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz

(replacing the -<platform>-<release> with my Linux variant which is freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1)

I get the following error:

tar: freesurfer-Linux-centos4-stable-pub-v4.3.1-full.tar: 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

Please can you advise me on how to correct this?

Thank you kindly

Fatima
