Colibri is a code for vibrational structure theory calculations. It provides the following methods/tools:
- Normal mode analysis
- VSCF
- VCI
- On-the-fly PES construction
- FCIDUMP file generator for vDMRG calculations
Colibri can calculate harmonic, mean-field and correlated vibrational energies for both the ground state (ZPVE) and vibrationally excited states.
Colibri is distributed under the BSD 3-clause "New" or "Revised" License.
For more license and copyright information, see the file LICENSE.txt in the repository.
For the installation, the following requirements are needed:
Colibri can be cloned and installed with:
git clone <colibri-repo>
cd colibri
git submodule init && git submodule update
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D<CMAKE_COMPILE_OPTIONS> ..
makewhere <CMAKE_COMPILE_OPTIONS> can be (optionally) one of the following:
ENABLE_OTF: enable on-the-fly PES construction. If this option is turned on, either SCINE Sparrow, Turbomole or Orca should be available to perform electronic structure calculations.BUILD_SPARROW: automatically build SCINE Sparrow with Scine Colibri.MPIPARALLEL: enable MPI parallelization. Requires OpenMPI to run in parallel.SCINE_BUILD_DOCS: Compile the doxygen documentation. Requires doxygen.
