Hi! I am trying to use a bash script to run FEAT on some already preprocessed data. I am not sure if it is due to my script or due to the design template I made, I cannot get it up and running. Below is my script and the corresponding error message. If you believe it would be helpful to also check my design template please let me know and I can find a way to send you (I’m not allowed to upload files as a new user 
).
Hope someone may help/guide my troubleshoot. Thanks!
- Here’s my bash script:
TASK=MID

sm=$4
