• core: core scripts for spin dynamics simulations
• mpi: some utilities for parallelization using mpi4py
• utility: some functions for post-processing, analyzing and plotting
• data_base: Exchange parameters for some typical magnetic materials
• examples: some examples to do fast test on the code
• Scripts: some executables for post-processing, applied to the current code and the Spirit code

Installation

• Fast installation via pypi

pip install pyasd

• Download the zip or tarball (tar.gz) of the package

• unzip the package

• Run the script ./setup.py install --user

• To check whether you have successfully install the package, go to the python interactive shell

import asd.core

import asd.mpi

import asd.utility

import data_base

If everything runs smoothly then it should be done.

• If it does not work, try one of the following: python setup.py install --home=.

python setup.py install --user

If you still have problems, contact the author for help

Clean installation
