' RuntimeError: SocketCalculator failed! Check if the ab initio calculator works properly.

When I tried to run AutoForce example using SocketCalculator I get this error message. Could you please suggest the solution to solve this problem?

Hi @lpham01, can you please let us know which example? In most these cases, the problem lies with the underling DFT calculator. I also suggest you to try out the example on examples/server folder for simple testing of the socket calculator. Feel free to replace the calc in calc.py with your favorite in case you don't have VASP installed.
