• Basic test: run a tiny example serial or few‑rank parallel job with known INCAR/POSCAR/POTCAR and check OUTCAR/OSZICAR for normal convergence.
• Check linked libraries:

  Build the standard version (production)

  make std
  

  VASPsol: Requires modifying solvation.F and adding specific preprocessor flags before recompiling. Installing VASP 5
