Power Cards

Hi all, Have just added Power Cards and PCMHelper to my game, and not touched much just yet. But having some issues! I am using the D&D 5E by Roll20 character sheet, but when I select any of the pre-made cards/macros, nothing is populating the lists? For example, I click on a PCtoken, click the Cast-Cantrip macro and then a list comes up, but all that's there is "selected" and "cantrip_list". It's the same for attacks and spells. Can anyone help? Thanks,

You need to run !pcmsetup. There are other commands but basically !pcmsetup populates your tokens. It sometimes needs to be run on individual tokens, I have found.  !pcmeverybody basically resets the whole thing--thats good for creation stage at the start of your game. Oh and very important: make sure you have ADVANTAGE set to toggle (maybe query works too, I'll have to look) in GAME SETTINGS before you launch your game. Good luck!

So !pcmsetup sets up the macros, but if you want to set the attributes on the characters you need to run "!pcm" while having the token you want to populate selected. OR, you can just run "!pcmeverybody" which will run that process on all of the characters in your game (it takes a few minutes because it uses a processing queue to avoid timing out the sandbox. You can see the progress in the console log. If you didn't have Advantage Toggle (required) set when you created your game, you can update it in the settings and then launch the game, go to the settings gear, and scroll all the way down and click "apply default settings" under experimental.
Forgive me, Will B. I was going from memory with the information I had provided. I came back here to change my answers but the person who knows Power Cards more than anyone cleared it up for me. I wasn't that far off, it wouldn't have crashed your computer and come for your phone afterwards,but it's always best to get it from the source. 
Thanks guys, all seems to work fine. I've put this into my test game and when I try getting my wizard to cast chromatic orb, everything comes grinding to a halt and get this message:
