= Introduction =

The kernel of the Dalton2016 suite is the two powerful molecular electronic structure programs, Dalton and LSDalton. Together, the two programs provide extensive functionality for the calculations of molecular properties at the HF, DFT, MCSCF, and CC levels of theory. Many of these properties are only available in the Dalton2016 suite.

= Modules =

<source lang="bash">
$ module load nixpkgs/16.09 intel/2016.4 openmpi/2.0.2 dalton/2017-alpha
</source>

Notice that <code>dalton/2017-alpha</code> depends on a non-default version of Open MPI. 
For more on the <code>module</code> command see [[Utiliser des modules/fr|Using modules]].

= Usage =

Here is an example:

* Dalton input file: <code>dft_rspexci_nosym.dal</code> (see the examples below).
* Molecule specification: <code>H2O_cc-pVDZ_nosym.mol</code> (see the examples below).
* To use the atomic basis set installed with the program, supply option <code>-b ${BASLIB}</code> to the command line (see the examples below).
* The number of processes can be set using a command line option or an environment variable:
** Add the option <code>-N ${SLURM_NTASKS}</code> to the launcher command line (refer to '''Script 1''' in the examples below);
** or, <code>export DALTON_NUM_MPI_PROCS=${SLURM_NTASKS}</code> (refer to '''Script 2''' in the examples below).

To run Dalton, load the module and use the launcher <code>dalton</code>:

<source lang="bash">
dalton -b ${BASLIB} -N ${SLURM_NTASKS}  -dal dft_rspexci_nosym.dal  -mol H2O_cc-pVDZ_nosym.mol 
</source>

or

<source lang="bash">
export DALTON_NUM_MPI_PROCS=${SLURM_NTASKS}
dalton -b ${BASLIB}  -dal dft_rspexci_nosym.dal  -mol H2O_cc-pVDZ_nosym.mol 
</source>
