Zeo++ - High throughput analysis of crystalline porous materials

Download

The current version of the code is available for download here:

Version 0.3, released 6/20/2017 – the version 0.3 is the fouth public release of Zeo++ code.

Installation

The package contains the C++ source code, example files, miscellaneous utilities, and documentation. The package also contains the latest version of Voro++ library. On Linux, Mac OS, and Windows (using Cygwin), the compilation and installation can be carried out using GNU Make.

Step by step compilation instructions:

Download and unpack the provided Zeo++ package (the following commands will create zeo++-0.3 directory containing the Zeo++ code; Voro++ library will be placed in one of subfolders (zeo++-0.3/voro++)):

gunzip zeo++-0.3.tar.gz tar xvf zeo++-0.3.tar

Compile Voro++ library (you may need first to review config.mk file in zeo++-0.3/voro++/ directory; please check Voro++ documentation or read zeo++-0.3/voro++/README):

cd zeo++-0.3/voro++/src make

Compile Zeo++ code:

cd ../.. make

Step (3) will create "network" binary inside zeo++-0.3 directory. This is the main Zeo++ binary. Please view Examples pages for a crash-course on using Zeo++. Details of the code are available on Documentation pages. A short help page is displayed when Zeo++ is executed without parameters:

./network

Contact

If you find this software useful, please contact me, as hearing back from people greatly helps in the development of the code. I am very interested to hear of additional features that people would find useful that Zeo++ currently does not support.
