LibXC

Libxc is the set of exchange-correlation functionals used in Octopus, which is also a separate library shared among several codes. Download here.

OpenDX

A tool for visualization is openDX. Unfortunately, since this software is old and unmaintained, you are likely to have trouble installing. To use the dx scripts distributed with Octopus, you'll have to install the chemistry packages for openDX from Cornell. These seem to have been unmaintained for several years, so we cleaned them up for your use, and added some useful stuff (like import of .xyz files). You can get them from here:

• CMSP-2.0.5.tar.gz (30/03/2010)
• CMSP_Linux.tar.gz (older version)

To install the chemistry packages, follow the instructions in the INSTALL file. In brief:

1. unpack the .tar.gz to a suitable directory.
2. edit the file Makefile to suit your environment
3. make
4. make install
5. you have to set some environment variables. The simplest is probably to place them in /etc/profile.d/dx.sh. Mine looks like:

export DXMACROS=/usr/local/CMSP-2.0.5/macros
export DXMODULES=/usr/local/CMSP-2.0.5/bin

dx () { /usr/bin/dx -mdf /usr/local/CMSP-2.0.5/CMSP.mdf $*; }
