If I could, I would!! But there is no one here on a regular basis that knows Linux! Thank you for trying to help. I was just reading the instructions for the installations, and I typed this command in:
tar tzf freesurfer-Linux-<platform>-<release>-full.tar.gz
and that worked absolutely fine, it showed the contents of the tar.gz file which is said it would do and then it said:
“The tar.gz file will extract to a directory called 'freesurfer'. Installing into the directory /usr/local is recommended” but how would it extract to the directory called ‘freesurfer’? I honestly have no idea how to run this program!
Sigh, thank you for trying to help.

I think you should grab some help from you local sys admin or some linux user

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
