This repository contains the Python version of Reaction Mechanism Generator
(RMG), a tool for automatically generating chemical reaction
## Description
This repository contains the Python version of **Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG)**,
a tool for automatically generating chemical reaction
mechanisms for modeling reaction systems including pyrolysis, combustion,
atmospheric science, and more.

It also includes CanTherm, the package for calculating thermodynamics, high-pressure-limit
It also includes **CanTherm**, the package for calculating thermodynamics, high-pressure-limit
rate coefficients, and pressure dependent rate coefficients from quantum chemical calculations.
CanTherm is compatible with a variety of ab initio quantum chemistry software programs, including but not limited to
Gaussian, MOPAC, QChem, and MOLPRO.

The most official repository can be found on github and is located at https://github.com/ReactionMechanismGenerator/RMG-Py.
Instructions on how to use RMG can be found in the [RMG Documentation](http://ReactionMechanismGenerator.github.io/RMG-Py/) including
details on [how to install RMG-Py](http://ReactionMechanismGenerator.github.io/RMG-Py/users/rmg/installation/index.html)
and its numerous dependencies. The [CanTherm Documentation](http://ReactionMechanismGenerator.github.io/RMG-Py/users/cantherm/) is also available online.
PDF versions of all the documentation can also be found in the documentation folder of the source code.
