[Ham-Mac] WSJT-X

[Stephen Prior]

I'm hardly getting past the first hurdle I'm afraid.  First of all, I am no
UNIX expert, having been brought up on DOS then Windows and now OSX.  I
have downloaded the software and extracted the WSJT-X folder which I have
placed in my home folder.  I am following the readme file and all is well
until I type

sudo tar -xzf hamlib.tar.gz

I get:

tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'hamlib.tar.gz'

I have the WSJT-X folder in my home folder and all instructions in the
terminal window up to that point seem to work.

The system is a quad core Mac Mini only a few months old running latest OS
with 16GB RAM.

I'd be grateful for any advice, I'm bound to be doing something really
stupid.

Thanks,

Stephen G4SJP
