pyiron-base 0.8.2

Core components of the pyiron integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials science

pyiron - an integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials science. While the general pyiron framework is focused on atomistic simulations, pyiron_base is independent of atomistic simulation. It can be used as a standalone workflow management combining a hierachical storage interface based on HDF5, support for HPC computing clusters and a user interface integrated in the Jupyter environment.

Installation

You can test pyiron on Mybinder.org (beta). For a local installation we recommend to install pyiron inside an anaconda environment:

conda install -c conda-forge pyiron_base

See the Documentation-Installation page for more details.

Example

After the successful configuration you can start your first pyiron calculation. Navigate to the the projects directory and start a jupyter notebook or jupyter lab session correspondingly:

cd ~/pyiron/projects
jupyter notebook

Open a new jupyter notebook and inside the notebook you can now validate your pyiron calculation by creating a test project:

from pyiron import Project
pr = Project('test')
pr.path

Getting started:

Test pyiron with mybinder:
