The official sources (up to MOPAC 7.1) are available in the official website.
More recent versions (MOPAC2007, MOPAC2009, MOPAC2012, MOPAC2016) are not open-source. There is plenty of other sites which distribute some flavour of MOPAC -
CCL archives, funet archives, SourceForge, GitHub etc.

Description & Use

MOPAC is one of the most favourite and well-known semiempirical package which enables MNDO, MINDO/3, AM1 and PM3 calculations.

Quick start

A typical input file contains:

Keywords
Description
(blank line)
[atom] [x] [1 or 0] [y] [1 or 0] [z] [1 or 0]
...
(blank line)
(blank line)

The input file is saved as FOR005 to the folder where the MOPAC executable is present.

Use in command line / shell:

mopac (in Windows command line)

or

./mopac (in Android shell).

The result named FOR006 will appear in the same location. It should be noted that any files other than FOR005 must be removed from the folder before executing a new calculation.

The same procedure is valid for PDDG modification of the code (see below). In opposite, version of MOPAC with support of COSMO is executed in following way:

mopac [input file].dat (in Windows command line)

or

./ mopac [input file].dat (in Android shell).

The output file(s) will appear in the same location.

Program status

The current package contains MOPAC 7 binaries of primary version compiled for the particular hardware platforms.
