Dear Pasan,

please note, that the recipe examples expect the SK-files to be in a 
special location. Make sure to execute

./scripts/get_slakos

before you start with the examples there. See

https://dftbplus-recipes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html#getting-slater-koster-data

for further details.

Best regards,

Bálint
