if you read the error message, you can easily figure out that xcrysden is looking for an input file named “pwi” instead of si.scf.in.
Indeed, if you look to the terminal line you included in your message, you specified “— pwi” instead of “—pwi”, so the blank space left after “—“ let xcrysden think that the first argument, pwi, is the file to look for!
