Installing Psi4 for Psi4Education labs

To use any of the Psi4Education jupyter notebook labs, you will need to create a psi4 environment. We recommend the all-in-one python package manager Anaconda. Install Anaconda or Miniconda Navigate to the download page. Download the appropriate installer for your operating system. Be sure you get the installer listed under Python 3 (not 2). Double click the installer and follow the setup instructions, keeping most of the default options. If you are on Windows, make sure to choose the option Make Anaconda the default Python during installation.

History

The Psi package originated in the group of Prof. Henry F. Schaefer while he was at the University of California, Berkeley. The code featured a direct CI code (written in 1976 by Robert Lucchese), a graphical unitary group configuration interaction (GUGA-CI) code (written in 1977-79 by Bernard Brooks and later extended to the shape-driven GUGA-CI code by Paul Saxe), and a Gaussian integral code (written in 1978 by Russell Pitzer). The code was originally known as the BERKELEY suite; it was renamed to Psi after the Schaefer group moved to the University of Georgia.
