pyiron - an integrated development environment (IDE) for computational materials science. While the general pyiron framework is focused on atomistic simulations, pyiron_base is independent of atomistic simulation. It can be used as a standalone workflow management combining a hierachical storage interface based on HDF5, support for HPC computing clusters and a user interface integrated in the Jupyter environment.
You can test pyiron on Mybinder.org (beta). For a local installation we recommend to install pyiron inside an anaconda environment:
conda install -c conda-forge pyiron_base
See the Documentation-Installation page for more details.
After the successful configuration you can start your first pyiron calculation. Navigate to the the projects directory and start a jupyter notebook or jupyter lab session correspondingly:
cd ~/pyiron/projects jupyter notebook
Open a new jupyter notebook and inside the notebook you can now validate your pyiron calculation by creating a test project:
from pyiron import Project
pr = Project('test')
pr.path
Test pyiron with mybinder:
pyiron_base is licensed under the BSD license.
