I'm stuck again

Hi Raymond,

From this output, I think you have extracted installer_linux.tar.gz already. Now, from here it looks as though you might need to execute installer_linux.sh. From ~/Downloads$ what happens when you do,

./installer_linux.sh

If that gives no joy, you may need to do,

sudo ./installer_linux.sh

Can you do an "ls" to find the file, then actually cd into that folder and try the command again, starting from the "tar ..." part (ignore the /home/... part at the start).  If you're in the right folder then it should work (and the Tab auto-complete should also work).
