    Hi Jeff,

    Sorry about the late reply.

    After a few computer restarts, it worked.

    yes, I did drag the Unix executable into the terminal window, each time, still unsure what happened when I first tried.

    To finish the installation I did run into a glitch because I was asked to close the safaribookmarkS application and I did not know where to find it. I found this way to do this online, which also worked for me :

    Finder:Utilities:ActivityMonitor. Quit the processes that start with "Safari".

    Finally, to open illustrator I also had to install  java ( Download Java for OS X 2017-001 )

    Everything is working now. thank you

    Catherine - thank you for asking and posting - I'm having the exact same problem.  Especially being asked to close the SafariBookmarksS - and I don't even have Safari open!!!

    Branching to a new discussion.

    Catherine, are you dragging the Install Unix Executable to the open Terminal window?  You can find the Install Unix Executable within the Install.app package.  If you can post a screenshot of the steps, you are performing before receiving the error above it would be appreciated.  Information on how to post a screenshot can be found at FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?.
