+[psi4]
+# As the Psi4 installation without conda is, to put it slightly, tricky it was
+# decided to allow the installation of Psi4 into a separate conda environment.
+# pysisyphus then creates a Psi4 input and sends it to the (bash)-script given below
+# that accepts/expects one argument. It is the responsibility of the scrip to activate
+# the appropriate conda environment and submit the Psi4 input. An example runpsi4.sh
+# script is given below.

+[xtb]
+# Cmd to execute. Please ensure that xtb is on your $PATH.
