Oops, I see that you did navigate to your downloads folder correctly.

Just to be sure, you didn't type "%>chuck" did you? The "%>" is meant to represent the computer's line prompt.

All YOU have to type is:

chuck

and hit enter. Now do you get the whole "no input files" thing?

sorry about that, didnt mean to be rude. i downloaded the executable, opened it, and looked at the files in the finder. the main folder is called chuck-1.2.1.3-exe. so i typed this command in the terminal:

%>cd chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin

but i got an error that says no such job. any ideas what i might have done wrong? thanks.

Get to the folder first:

cd chuck-1.2.1.3-exe/bin/

then

sudo cp chuck /usr/bin/

and 

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/chuck

You will get asked for your password for the last two - that is ok, you are installing it into your system.
Than you can go to the folder with examples and try it out:

chuck name_of_the_example.ck

It seems that on Mac OS X 10.6.8, this can be replaced by
  sudo cp chuck /usr/local/bin/
as this directory is included in
  echo $PATH

> and 
> 
> sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/chuck

And this unnecessary, as one is copying it (and it it is correctly set when unpacking with 'tar -xzf').

i went into terminal and did exactly what you said. when i entered "%>chuck" in the terminal it didnt give me the "[chuck]: no input files... (try –help)" message on the terminal screen like it says it should in the chuck manual. does this mean it didnt install correctly? i included a pic of the terminal windo as well. i dont know how to tell if its installed or not. thanks so much for your help.
