Can not download p4vasp

Questions will be moved to this forum when we consider them out of scope for support from our side: for instance when we do not have the necessary expertise to come up with an answer.
Another user still might, though!

Can not download p4vasp

#1 Post by nimali_rathnayake » Mon Sep 06, 2021 5:52 am

Hi,

I am trying to install p4vasp software for Linux.

I tried the following link; http://www.p4vasp.at/. However, this link does not work.

Could you please let me know from where I can download the setup file for p4vasp software.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Nimali

Thanks for noticing. Our server seems to be down at the moment.
We will try to bring it up as soon as possible.
In the meantime please use the github for p4vasp:
https://github.com/orest-d/p4vasp

Any update on when the server will be back online. www.p4vasp.at is still broken for me

Hello!

I'm sorry but it will take a little longer to fix the server.. in the meantime, have you tried using the Github repository instead? Please note that also the documentation is included in the doc directory of the repository. You can just open the

Code: Select all

doc/index.html
with your browser and should find the same information as on the web page.

Best,

Andreas Singraber

Hi,

I downloaded the p4vasp package form the link provided. I have Linux mint installed in my desktop and I followed the instructions provided in the REAMME file. When I run the install/install-ubuntu-dependencies.sh" It gave m two errors. 1) Unable to locate package python-glade2 and 2) unable to locate package python-epydoc. Then when run the make local command, It gave me this message "cd install && python2 makeappletlist.py".

Could you please provide me instructions to install p4vasp in Linux-mint correctly? Because the the file I downloaded directly from the vasp.at website works properly and easy to install. However, this is bit complicated.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Nimali

I moved this into the "From Users for Users" category. Please, be aware that p4vasp is a tool that is neither developed nor maintained by the VASP Software GmbH. Hence for any nontrivial issue, we would like you to address the developer of p4vasp directly, e.g., via the Github issue page. However, if these issues persist, we will need to release an officially supported tool to do the tasks p4vasp is currently used for.
