First of all, there are plenty of files available as sra. You would need heavy computing to setup any kind of pipeline for analysis of variants. If you meet the criteria of computing power, then most of the tools available are open source, hence free for academic purpose.

A: FASTQs to the VCF

Use fastq-dump to convert from SRA to FASTQ.

You have a long way before you, and you should learn to read the manuals of the programs you are using. Its at least an --accession needed. And I don't know if ERR accessions are possible.
