In the terminal, do you see something like this:
username at computername:~/wiendata/TiC$ structeditor
structeditor: command not found
To use structeditor, see section "9.28.1 Execution' on page 213 of the
WIEN2k usersguide [
http://susi.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/reg_user/textbooks/usersguide.pdf ]
and do similarly something like:
username at computername:~/wiendata/TiC$ octave
GNU Octave, version 3.8.1
...
octave:1> s=loadstruct("TiC.struct");
octave:2> showstruct(s);

Shifts typically seem to be kept at 0, such that the atomic positions
are not moved by the value(s) entered. It can be helpful in removing
the "STOP: YOU MUST MOVE THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIT CELL" error:

The slide 5 in PB-getting_started3.pdf at the "Forces, structure
optimization, supercells, surfaces, phonons" link might help, which is
