The CCP1GUI project aims to develop a free, extensible Graphical User Interface to various computational chemistry codes developed by the worldwide academic community, with an emphasis on ab initio Quantum Chemistry codes.

The GUI has been built around the Python open-source programming language and the VTK visualisation toolkit, both of which have been ported to all the major operating system platforms. The GUI is therefore capable of running on all of these systems. Distributions of the GUI have already been successfully tested on Redhat Linux, Windows, and Suse distributions, and packages for these distributions are freely available from our ftp site.
