afni_proc.py align_unifize_ep error

AFNI version info (afni -ver): Version AFNI_21.2.06 'Nerva'

I am running into an error with the below afni_proc.py script based on AFNI example 11. I am not understanding how the line needs to be - I've tried adding yes or no, but any examples on the afni_proc.py page have the line of code exactly as in my script. Can you advise on how to fix?

Error:

** option -align_unifize_epi: param 'local' is not in: ['yes', 'no']


** failed command (get_user_opts):

Hello,

Your AFNI version (2 years old) is too old for that parameter. Would it be feasible to update it? Is it your own copy, or is it on a shared system?
