Dear Amber users,
I have been trying to perform umbrella sampling simulations of a host-guest system involving a cisplatin molecule encapsulated into a carbon nanotube structure. My ideia is to derive the potential of mean force (and the energy barrier) referring to the release of this Pt(II) drug from the cavity of the carbon nanostructure.In order to do this task, I have been reading the Amber tutorial: Computing Binding Free Energy using the Attach-Pull-Release (APR) Method. However, I got some errors when I tried to run the apr.py code:

The current APR scripts may not be directly applied to protein systems, especially
for those with buried binding sites. Careful adjustments of the protocols and scripts
will be needed, based on the requirements of every particular system.
Checking the version of Python installed ...
You are using Python 2.7, which is perfect for running the APR scripts.
Setting up the APR framework ...
Continue mode enabled. Checking previous simulations ...
pmemd.cuda is on.
Translational and rotational restraints will be imposed.
No conformational restraints applied.
Hydrogen mass repartitioning (HMR) is on.
You can use Ctrl+C to quit the program.

Firstly, could someone help me with this error?
I would like to ask you if it is possible to build the inputs of this simulation (steered molecular dynamics simulations and umbrella sampling simulations) in a conventional way without using the codes in python. If possible, could you help me to build an input file as an example? Another alternative would be to fix the error in the apr.py. However, since I am a beginner in this field (programming), I really do not know how to fix this error in the apr.py.
Sincerely,
Eduardo.
