CAT is a collection of tools designed for the construction of various chemical compounds. Further information is provided in the documentation.
CAT can be installed via pip as following:
- CAT:
pip install nlesc-CAT --upgrade
Note that, while not strictly necessary, it is recommended to first create a conda environment:
- Download and install miniconda for python3: miniconda (also you can install the complete anaconda version).
- Create a new virtual environment:
conda create --name CAT python - Activate the environment::
conda activate CAT
Running CAT and can be done with the following command:
init_cat my_settings.yaml. The user merely has to provide a yaml file
with the job settings, settings which can be tweaked and altered to suit ones
purposes (see example1). Alternatively, CAT can be run like a regular
python script, bypassing the command-line interface
(i.e. python input.py, see example2).
An extensive description of the various available settings is available in the documentation.
