Did you get any error message? Did the operating system find the dftb+
executable? You have to put dftb+ to a place, where your operating
system can find it (often ~/bin is a good choice), or otherwise you have
to use the full path /home/username/...../dftb+ to invoke it.

If you are rather unfamiliar with the Unix operating system, you should
probably ask your local system administrator for help with installing
and running programs.

  Best regards,
