I am trying to construct the FES from the command available on the website (graph.psmp -i HILLS -stride 10 -ndim 2 -ndw 1 2 -cp2k -integrated_fes).
But I am getting this error

Restart file means the normal one right or is there some other HILLS file generated for restart.

Hi,

This is how i ran and works for me. I'm assuming sys-1 is your restart file. 

graph.psmp -cp2k -file sys-1 -stride 10 -ndim 2 -ndw 1 2 -out -integrated-fes

Thanks. It worked just one more doubt even after keeping low WW value of 0.0002 the methane molecule is breaking in 2.5 ps but for well tempered we need long runs so how to address this problem. Due to this I am getting low activation barriers than what we expect for methane.
