[ase-users] Dacapo/Jacapo installation troubleshoot (Sharon Chou)

[John Kitchin]

You do not need to run these two steps to use Dacapo or Jacapo.
     (2) cd dacapo/Python
    (3) sudo python setup.py install

this installs the old ASE2 code, which is not used much (if at all) anymore.


it should be sefficient to install ase, and to compile the Dacapo fortran
code as described in the sections 1.2.1-1.2.7 at the page you listed below.

The easiest way is to install the RPMS if you can.
