==========
deMon-Nano
==========
deMon-Nano_ is a density-functional based tight-binding (DFTB) code using atom centered orbitals. This
interface makes it possible to use deMon-Nano_ as a calculator in ASE.
You need Slater-Koster files for the combination of
atom types of your system. These can be obtained at dftb.org_.

Environment variables
=====================
Set environment variables in your configuration file (what is the directory
for the Slater-Koster files and what is the name of the executable):
- bash::
$ DEMONNANO_BASIS_PATH="/path/to/basis/" (an example)
$ ASE_DEMONNANO_COMMAND="/path/to/bin/deMon.username.x (an example)
