How-to Guide#
This guide is a collection of step-by-step instructions for tasks that are commonly (and in some cases not so commonly) encountered when using Covalent.
Note
Most of the how-to instructions below are Jupyter notebook files (formerly IPython files; they have an ipynb file extension). You can open a file and run the example on your local machine. To run an example:
Download the IPython (.ipynb) file by replacing html with ipynb in the How-to document URL. For example, change “https://covalent.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_to/orchestration/construct_electron.html” to “https://covalent.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how_to/orchestration/construct_electron.ipynb”.
The guide covers specific tasks at every phase of the workflow development process:
Executing workflows, including using and writing executors
At the end are how-tos on miscellaneous topics including configuration.
