I apologize for the omission of the detail: 1) I have exported as follows the PATH of VMD from my zshrc (MacOS Big Sur): export PATH=/Applications/VMD\ 1.9.4a57-x86_64-Rev12.app/Contents/vmd:$PATH

, 2) the command I use is the following:vmd_MACOSXX86_64 -dispdev text -e cionize.tcl

3) my script contains the following lines:
package require cionize
namespace import ::cionize::*
set id [mol new ../tmp_top.psf type psf waitfor all]
mol addfile ../tmp_top.pdb type pdb waitfor all

#! Run with a suffcient number of ions to saturate the model
#! This example estimates 3x magnitude of system net charge
set charge [expr {round([vecsum [[atomselect top "all"] get charge]])}]
set number [expr {abs($charge*3)}] ; # 3x magnitude of system net charge
#! np is the number of procs
cionize -mol $id -np 4 -mg -ions "{SOD $number 1} {CLA $number -1}"
#mol delete all

Error:

Starting cionize...
pqrplugin) Warning no atom radii available, assigning radii of 1.0
Info) Opened coordinate file cionize-temp.pqr for writing.
Info) Finished with coordinate file cionize-temp.pqr.
