We kindly ask you to cite this article if you use this software package in published work.

• Learning efficiently free energies from biased simulations
• Documentation including tutorials
• Supports Python 3.10-3.13

The package is called fpsl and is available via PyPI. To install it, simply call:

python3 -m pip install fpsl

Otherwise, you can install it from github. Download the repo and setup an env with fpsl installed with uv. If you do not have uv you can get it here.

uv sync --extra cuda  # if you have an Nvidia GPU

Add here a short example.

import fpsl

ddm = fps.DrivenDDM(
    sigma_min=1e-3,
    symmetric=True,
    fourier_features=4,
    ...,
)
# load x position of MD trajectory and forces f
ddm.train(
    ...
)
