Usage

+ "\n",
+ "1. Set up the environment and parameters: install packages (JupyterLite only) and configure parameters for material, workflow, compute resources, and job.\n",
+ "1. Authenticate and initialize API client: authenticate via browser, initialize the client, then select account and project.\n",
+ "1. Create material: materials are read from the `../uploads` folder — place files there manually or run a material creation notebook first. If the material is not found by name, Standata is used as a fallback. The material is then saved to the platform.\n",
+ "1. Create workflow and set its parameters: select application, load total energy workflow from Standata, optionally add relaxation or adjust model/method parameters, and save the workflow to the platform.\n",
+ "1. Configure compute: get list of clusters and create compute configuration with selected cluster, queue, and number of processors.\n",
+ "1. Create the job with material and workflow configuration: assemble the job from material, workflow, project, and compute configuration.\n",
+ "1. Submit the job and monitor the status: submit the job and wait for completion.\n",
+ "1. Retrieve results: get and display the properies."
