If you need a version of VASP that does not appear here, you can either build it yourself (see below) or [[Technical support | write to us]] and ask that it be built and installed.

== Building VASP on narval ==
If you are licensed to use VASP and have access to VASP source code you can install VASP in your home directory in the same way as it has been installed on cedar and graham, e.g., with two extension, Transition State Tools and VASPsol by running one of the following commands
<code> eb  VASP-5.4.4-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-5.4.4
<code> eb VASP-6.1.2-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-6.1.2
<code> eb VASP-6.2.1-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-6.2.1
The above commands should be run from the directory where vasp source files are located. The source files for vasp-5.4.4, 6.1.2 and 6.2.1 are <code> vasp.5.4.4.pl2.tgz </code>, <code> vasp.6.1.2_patched.tgz </code> and <code> vasp.6.2.1.tgz </code> respectively. Running those commands takes some time. Once it is done you will be able to load and run vasp using module command exactly as it has been explained in [https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/VASP#Using_prebuilt_VASP Using prebuilt VASP]

If you are licensed to use VASP you may download the source code from the [https://www.vasp.at/ VASP website] and build custom versions. See [[Installing software in your home directory]] and [http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/wiki/index.php/Installing_VASP Installing VASP].

=== Building VASP on Narval ===
If you are licensed to use VASP and have access to VASP source code, you can install VASP in your home directory using one of the following [[EasyBuild]] commands.
This will build VASP with the same two extensions (Transition State Tools and VASPsol) that it is prebuilt with on Cedar and Graham.
<code> eb VASP-5.4.4-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-5.4.4
<code> eb VASP-6.1.2-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-6.1.2
<code> eb VASP-6.2.1-iimpi-2020a.eb </code> for VASP-6.2.1
Run one of the above commands from the directory where the VASP source files are located. The source files for vasp-5.4.4, 6.1.2, and 6.2.1 are <code> vasp.5.4.4.pl2.tgz </code>, <code> vasp.6.1.2_patched.tgz </code> and <code> vasp.6.2.1.tgz </code> respectively. Running the command will take some time, perhaps more than an hour. Once it is done you will be able to load and run VASP using <code>module</code> commands just as explained above in [https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/VASP#Using_prebuilt_VASP Using prebuilt VASP]
