There are two parts to the vtsttools.

First, there is a collection of scripts which you can download and put in your path:
http://theory.cm.utexas.edu/vtsttools/scripts/

Second, there is code that links into vasp. This does not alter the normal operation of vasp, but instead just provides additional transition state finding methods and optimizers. Instructions for downloading and building vasp with this code can be found at:
http://theory.cm.utexas.edu/vtsttools/downloads/

Finally, if you want to use the Bader code, make sure to get vasp 4.6.31, so you can write all-electron cores for the PAW potentials.

You need to contact the person who built vasp on the machine, or someone who understands how to build it from the source. Our posted instructions should make sense to that person.
