 +====== Unmatched Error ======
 +
 +If you get an error about an unmatched comma, you are probably trying to run this in a csh shell instead of a bash shell. These shells behave a little differently. Here's the error you'll get.
 +
 +  '​Unmatched "​.'​
 +
 +One solution is to run this command from bash. To switch to a bash shell, just run the /bash/ command to switch to a bash shell.

 +Special thanks to Marina for reporting this error.
