um, I'm not surprised that the file or directory can not be found on my machine. Because it hasn't been downloaded yet. That's what I'm attempting to do. I used tar jxvf sage-9.1-Ubuntu_18.04-x86_64.tar.bz2 to download Sage last week on an identical different machine and it worked perfectly. So, it's odd that the exact command is not doing it now.
