Issues with running flex_extract

Hello,

I am having trouble getting flex_extract to run properly. In following the online guide, I have successfully been able to install flex_extract to my local computer. However, I have been having trouble executing the command run_local.sh

Here is some information:

-The control file I am testing is CONTROL_EA5

-The script run_local.sh has been modified to the following:

QUEUE=''
START_DATE=None
END_DATE=None
DATE_CHUNK=None
JOB_CHUNK=None
BASETIME=None
STEP=None
LEVELIST=None
AREA=None
INPUTDIR='./Workspace/EA5'
OUTPUTDIR=None
PP_ID=None
JOB_TEMPLATE=''
CONTROLFILE='CONTROL_EA5'
DEBUG=0
REQUEST=0
PUBLIC=1

After typing $ ./run_local.sh, I get the following:

I have been struggling to pinpoint what the exact problem is. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them.

Thank you very much,
