Four SCF codes can be used with adcc out of the box, namely [molsturm](https://molsturm.org),\n", "[psi4](https://psicode.org/), [PySCF](https://github.com/pyscf/pyscf), and [veloxchem](https://veloxchem.org/), see [01_Backends.ipynb](01_Backends.ipynb). Without expressing any particular preference these notebooks will focus on psi4 and pyscf to obtain an SCF reference, but the other codes work very similar.\n", "\n", "This notebook and the others in the [0_basics](https://github.com/adc-connect/adcc/tree/doc/examples/0_basics) folder will introduce adcc from the practitioners perspective and give an idea of supported features. For a more structured documentation and an API reference, see https://adc-connect.org. In particular for installation instructions see https://adc-connect.org/installation.html. If you cannot be bothered to install adcc just to try these notebooks, just go to https://try.adc-connect.org, which will allow you to play with the notebooks from `0_basics` in your browser.\n", "\n", "In contrast these notebooks will not put a strong emphasis on the theory and numerical methods behind adcc, save a small introduction in [02_Theory.ipynb](02_Theory.ipynb).
