Getting started

GOFEE is implemented in python, so a basic understanding of python is neccisary to use the program.

In addition it relies heavily on the python library ASE (Atomic Simulation Environment). In particular, some ASE methods are used to set up the atomistic system of interest, prior to a GOFEE search. It is therefore a prerequisite to also have basic experience with especially the Atoms object of ASE as well as trajectory files.

Before continuing complete the installation guide, if you have not done it already.

Otherwise you can start getting familiar with GOFEE by going through some of the examples in the tutorial.
