For the development code and upcoming releases see the
Online Documentation for ESPResSo with python.

The main documentation up to version 3.3.1 is the 
User’s Guide (UG)  for ESPResSo with TCL.

Quickstart

New ESPResSo users should follow these steps to get ESPResSo running:

1. Check the installation requirements for your operating system
2. Download ESPResSo
3. Build ESPResSo
4. Run your script with ./pypresso <SCRIPT> or have a look at the tutorials

Tutorials
