This is the beginning of the PAM-STAMP tutorial. It is beginner friendly but it also covers advanced topics as it progresses.
If you already have the software running, begin with the introduction. Installation still pending? Start with the requirements and Windows installation, or use the Linux solver guide for the computation machine.
You will need a suitable practice dataset for the calculation steps. The examples post explains what to look for. The more specialised articles identify where they use older guide material, so you can tell a method explanation from a demonstrated 2025 procedure.
There is no need to read all 60 before trying the software. Follow the first model, then return to the topics that answer your next question.

Practice projects
As you work through the posts
Keep your original practice files and save a separate trial when changing a setting. Write down what you changed. It sounds like extra work, but it is easier than trying to remember which of several similar results came from which input.
If you get stuck, note the stage and exact message.
