DFT calculation issues.


Just Got Here
My DFT calculation worked wonderfully. I wanted to get frequency data so I input "frequencies" in my task after "task DFT optimize" in my input file. However I get this error in my output file ...

--task: no task input for theory? --

How do I fix this issue?

Down below is the input file.

Forum Regular
switch

task dft optimize frequencies

to

task dft optimize
task dft frequencies

and you will be good to go

Best,
