I wrote the .yaml file which was according the instruction from zUMIs:
###########################################
#Welcome to zUMIs
#below, please fill the mandatory inputs
#We expect full paths for all files.
###########################################
#define a project name that will be used to name output files
project: SmartSeq3
#Sequencing File Inputs:
#For each input file, make one list object & define path and barcode ranges
#base definition vocabulary: BC(n) UMI(n) cDNA(n).
#Barcode range definition needs to account for all ranges.You can give several comma-separated ranges for BC & UMI sequences, eg.BC(1-6,20-26)
#you can specify between 1 and 4 input files
sequence_files:
file1:

#Options for Barcode handling
#You can give either number of top barcodes to use or give an annotation of cell barcodes
#If you leave both barcode_num and barcode_file empty, zUMIs will perform automatic cell barcode selection for you!
barcodes:
barcode_num: null

barcode_sharing: null #Optional for combining several barcode sequences per cell (see github wiki)
automatic: yes #Give yes/no to this option. If the cell barcodes should be detected automatically. If the barcode file is given in combination with automatic barcode detection, the list of giiven barcodes will be used as whitelist.
BarcodeBinning: 1 #Hamming distance binning of close cell barcode sequences.
nReadsperCell: 100 #Keep only the cell barcodes with atleast n number of reads.
demultiplex: yes #produce per-cell demultiplexed bam files.
#Options related to counting of reads towards expression profiles
counting_opts:
introns: yes #can be set to no for exon-only counting.
intronProb: no #perform an estimation of how likely intronic reads are to be derived from mRNA by comparing to intergenic counts.
downsampling: '0' #Number of reads to downsample to. This value can be a fixed number of reads (e.g. 10000) or a desired range (e.g 10000-20000) Barcodes with less than <d> will not be reported. 0 means adaptive downsampling. Default: 0
strand: 0 #Is the library stranded? 0 = unstranded, 1 = positively stranded, 2 = negatively stranded
Ham_Dist: 1 #Hamming distance collapsing of UMI sequences.
velocyto: no #Would you like velocyto to do counting of intron-exon spanning reads

I am new at bioinformatic field and I do not understand the meaning of these errors and the things I should correct.
Can anyone help me please?
