Can you be more specific? Do you have a .vmdrc file? Or do you not know what that is?

I can only find “vmd.rc”file. image And the contents of the document are as follows. Is this？ image If so, what exactly is the command line that should be written，and where？

Ahh, ok. You are working on Windows, where .vmdrc files are called vmd.rc files. See the VMD user guide here about what usually goes in them. The .vmdrc (or vmd.rc) file is basically a Tcl script that runs at startup. So whatever commands you use to access LigninBuilder (the lappend auto_path whateverthecorrectdirectorypathisonyourcomputer line) would be added here. Be sure to check the other locations listed in the VMD user guide, since typically vmd.rc files aren't blank like this.
