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.
Next, I attempt to use the command "profile.build()...
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.
Another error I get trying to get any command to work is "Cannot open
logfile "XXXXXXX".log: Permission denied
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.
