I'm a novice (biochemistry). Very little computer programming, however I can usually teach myself from tutorials. I must be missing something. I can't get through the basic example.
I have my sequence in PIR format. Next, going through the example, I opened up the modeller program to get the command screen.
I started by typing mod9.10 since I don't have Python installed.
c:\Program Files (x86)\Modeller9.10>mod9.10 usage: mod9.10script [...]
Next, I attempt to use the command "profile.build()...... and it gives me the error 'profile.build' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I have tried to put a name in the parenthesis and I get the same error. Never recognizes the "name" in the parenthesis.
I have tried to look at the commands by going to the command directory, but I get the same error regardless of which command I try.
Please help! I think I can proceed if I could only start.
Another error I get trying to get any command to work is "Cannot open logfile "XXXXXXX".log: Permission denied the only thing I have successfully done is connect to directories like cd examples, cd modlib, cd commands, etc mod9v10 build_profile.py
Nothing works for me!

Like most command line programs, if you run mod9.10 without any arguments, it tells you how to run it. Here it's saying that you need to run it with "mod9.10" plus the name of a Python script file.

You have to put Modeller commands into a script file (let's call it foo.py) then run that script file by typing "mod9.10 foo.py". Right now you're typing Modeller commands into the Windows command prompt. Windows doesn't understand Modeller commands, of course.

As described in the release notes, Windows won't let you run the examples directly from the folder they were installed in (this is a good thing, particularly if you share your computer with other users - it's stopping you from breaking them by accident!) Make a copy of the examples folder somewhere else, such as on your desktop, and run them in there.
