==Installing CASTEP==
For example, with version 20.11
:
# You must [http://www.castep.org/get_castep '''get the archive file that contains the installer''']; this file should be named CASTEP-20.11.tar.gz
.
# Upload the CASTEP-20.11.tar.gz
file to your /home/$USER
folder on the cluster you intend to use.
# On the cluster, run the command:
[name@server ~]$ eb CASTEP-20.11-iofbf-2020a.eb --sourcepath=$HOME --disable-enforce-checksums
Once this command has completed, log out from the cluster and log back in.
==Using CASTEP==
You should be able to load the module with:
[name@server ~]$ module load castep
On a compute node, the CASTEP executable can be used like an [[Running_jobs#MPI_job|MPI application]]:
[name@server ~]$ srun castep.mpi seedname
Where input files would be seedname.cell
and seedname.param
(i.e. "seedname" could be a different name).
