To install AFNI, please see HowTo #0.

B. Install the AFNI_data6 class data tree under the $HOME directory.
This tutorial relies on the AFNI_data6 directory tree. In a typical AFNI
bootcamp, the AFNI_data6 directory will be put under the $HOME directory,
which is assumed in this tutorial.
If you do not yet have the data, use the following commands to download it
and place it in the $HOME directory:
cd
curl -O http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/edu/data/AFNI_data6.tgz
tar xzf AFNI_data6.tgz

C. Open a terminal window.
This tutorial goes through commands which are entered (typed in) at a
command prompt on a terminal window. The user must find an xterm or
other terminal application to open, in order to get to a command prompt.
Linux: there is often a Terminal application under:
Applications ... System Tools ... Terminal
OS X: Use Finder to open the /Applications directory, then enter
Utilities, and finally look for X11 or XQuartz. Drag the icon
to your dock bar so that you do not need to search for it again.
Start X11 (or XQuartz) and from the top application bar, choose:
Applications ... Terminal
At this point, it is assumed that AFNI_data6 is located in the $HOME
directory, and that the AFNI binaries are installed.
The user should have a termial window open for typing commands.
