Using this package:

[Required] This package expects a python 3.6+ version.
[Required] Compile LAMMPS (lammps.sandia.gov) as a shared library, detailed instructions can be found here docs/LAMMPS.md. If you can open python and run import lammps; lmp = lammps.lammps() and it succeeds, you should be good.

Installing:

Put this directory somewhere that you like.
Add this directory in your Python path.
See docs/INSTALL.md for more information

Running:

python -m fitsnap3 [options] infile
Command line options can be seen with python -m fitsnap3 -h
Input files are described by docs/TEMPLATE.in and docs/GROUPLIST.template
Examples of published SNAP interatomic potentials can be found in examples/

Version Control:

stable branch is the latest validated stable version of the code. It is recommended for new users.
master branch reflects all of the latest code changes. It is intended for active developers and requires an up-to-date version of LAMMPS as well.
