You have to give it an actual path (eg, /App/freesurfer/subjeccts). When you see <something> it means that you need to supply the something

oh, the export command is failing? You mentioned you weren't running bash (which is the shell that knows what to do with an export command). Can you install bash? If not, you can use setenv instead of export and the .csh file instead of the .sh

but again I get

I would recommend to go through a short introduction to BASH (if that is the shell you want to use) before working with FreeSurfer, it will save you a lot of trouble.
