Notes

• This is a GUI application. X11 forwarding is required.
  • MobaXterm on Windows, Xquartz on mac, SSH X11 forwarding on Linux may be useful.
  • iMolpro has internal JMol; 3D visualization of the molecule is possible.
• Due to the local fixes (fix for csh/tcsh and avoid using /tmp), the version name is displayed as "1.0.1-dirty".
• Guided mode can be activated if molpro command is in your path.
  • In the guided mode, you can choose settings using sophisticated UI (toggle boxes are available for example).
• It is not possible to launch job directly from iMolpro for now.
  • (It may be possible with "backend" setting. Please check doc/example.md of the official source tree. A utility command which build job script and submit a job via jsub may be necessary.)
  • It is possible to create input files and to run small calculations on login server for now.
• On RCCS system, you can launch iMolpro with a command like imolpro-molpro2023.2.0 once you load the imolpro module. These wrappers launch iMolpro after setting the path corresponding to the specified version of molpro.
  • imolpro-molpro2023.2.0 (molpro 2023.2.0)
  • imolpro-molpro2022.3.0 (molpro 2022.3.0)
  • imolpro-molpro2021.3.1 (molpro 2021.3.1)
  • imolpro-molpro2024.1.0 (molpro 2024.1.0; will soon be available)
