Hi all,

I am using command line to perform SPHARM-PDM. My command is shown below:  
`./SlicerSALT --no-main-window --python-script path-to-py path-to-param`

And I have modified the `SPHARM-PDM-parameters.ini` file like this:  
`regparatemplatefileon = True`  
`regparatemplate = ~/Step3_ParaToSPHARMMesh/L_Hippo_binary_pp_surf_SPHARM.vtk`  
`fliptemplateon = True`  
`fliptemplate = ~/Step3_ParaToSPHARMMesh/L_Hippo_binary_pp_surf_SPHARM.coef`

But the output in `Step3_ParaToSPHARMMesh` folder does not contain \ ***\_\_pp\_surf\_SPHARM\_procalign.vtk** files.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks!!
