If you have sugar groups (or anything parametrized with GLYCAM), you will
need to regenerate your prmtop with tleap from AmberTools 12. Otherwise,
this is the correct default.

Same answer as above. 2.0 is the 'correct' value for the Amber force
fields.

Open your prmtop in xparmed.py. Click "addAtomicNumber". Click "yes".
 Click "Write new prmtop".

Unless you modified the atomic masses in your prmtop, though, this is
unnecessary.
