Conda package sees a lot of attention
Sanath Keshav has published our solver FANS not only on github but it also committed to maintaining the conda package. We have published several major updates recently and we recommend updating to the latest version v0.6.1.
In 2025 we have seen 2899 Downloads (Jan-Nov 2025) of the conda package so far which is in our opinion a great success! Currently, we are cooperating with TU Dresden to further extend FANS but also to use it to tackle challenging material design tasks. We also added more platforms and compile for linux-64, linux-aarch64, linux-ppc64le, osx-64 and osx-arm64.
To install the conda package we highly recommend the use of pixi (see github repository for instructions) which interacts with the conda ecosystem in a fast way. Alternatively, you can use the following command:
conda install -c conda-forge fans
We are excited to see more users and are happy to get FANS related cooperative projects on the way.
