You've been given commands that are almost exactly what you should enter in a 
terminal.  I would suggest you describe exactly why they aren't clear.

The only comment I have here is that, for trivial centering within a box, 
neither -center nor -c is explicitly needed.  When defining a unit cell with 
either -box or -d, centering is implied.  Replace "x y z" with whatever box 
dimensions you want.

This command can be used as is, replacing filenames as necessary.
