It seems to assume that you are using a C based shell, usually tcsh. That
has different syntax than bash. Depending upon your distribution, you
should be able to install csh or tcsh, then change to that shell to run it.

I don't know C shell at all, I would guess that the -e means exist, that
is, if this file exists, then source it.
