VESTA (Visualisation for Electronic Structural Analysis) is a 3D visualization program for structural models, volumetric data such as electron/nuclear densities, and crystal morphologies.
On clusters this is on the PATH by default. Ensure that X forwarding is enabled (or use VNC) and type VESTA .
On Ubuntu 20.04 workstations, type "module load vesta" and then "VESTA".

Free to download for academic, scientific, educational, and noncommercial users. Drawings produced by VESTA may be used in any publications provided that its use is explicitly acknowledged. A suitable reference for VESTA is:
They provide an RPM which we install directly onto cluster head nodes.
For workstations, they provide a binary package which we extract directly into /shared/shared/ubuntu-20.04/x86_64/vesta/3.5.8/bin (version number as appropriate). Then add a symlink in chemistry-modulefiles-focal for it.
