Configure the code

See aiida docs on how to set up computers and codes. Note that you need at least one computer configured and a VASP executable on it in order to use this plugin.

Using this plugin

For a tryout session, use the script run_vasp.py in the examples folder. Assuming you have already set up a code and computer, usage is as follows:

$ python run_vasp.py --help  # shows help message
$ # first time you need to import the potentials
$ python run_vasp.py --import-from=<path-to-potentials-folder> --queue=<your-compute-queue> <code> <computer>
  ... will take a while the first time due to importing potentials
$ # from  now on you can simply run
$ # python run_vasp.py --queue=<queue> <code> <computer>
$ verdi calculation list
  .. should contain a vasp calculation
