Version one, check2xsf, is no longer advertised. Versions prior to 1.14 have bugs when parsing wavefunctions from parallel Castep calculations, or from versions of Castep from 2016 and beyond: they are not recommended.
Building Crystals and SlabsĀ¶. In this tutorial we demonstrate the working of several tools that combined give you great flexibility to build periodic structures. We have downloaded Boltztrap 1.2.5 from internet. We are not able to install and run the softare. Help us to install and run Boltztrap 1.2.5 software.
Castep software, free download Cnet
Version two is available either in the form of binaries, or source code under the GPL version 3, as below.
For features under development and expected in the next release,see the c2x futures page.
Also a lazy quick installationguide.

Test suite: c2x_test.tgz (updated for 2.35).
The main optional, but very useful and highly recommended,dependency is the SPGlib library. It is packaged for many Linuxdistributions, and is alsoavailable here.Version numbers of at least 1.11 are recommended, and 1.12.2 is knownto work with c2x and so iscached here.
Contributing
Ideas, and source code, contributions are welcome! But, ifcontributing source code, you must agree to assign all intellectualproperty rights to MJ Rutter, the main author of c2x, so that it ispossible to release c2x under other licences in the future. I do notbelieve that it will be possible for me to make my fortune bycommercialising c2x(!), but I do not wish to be unable to contribute itscode to a project which is not GPL v3 compatible.
See also the c2x futures page forfeatures under development but not yet in the public release.
