I installed the .tar.gz file for BRL-CAD. File name is BRL-CAD_7.26.0.2_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz at location /home/user/Downloads.

I opened Terminal and typed in 

$ tar -zxvf BRL-CAD_7.26.0.2_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
tar (child): BRL-CAD_7.26.0.2_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What exactly should I type into Terminal so I can extract the .tar.gz file?
