# Running Typical Calculations Before entering the detailed documentation of the various features of ORCA it is instructive to provide a chapter that shows how "typical" tasks may be performed. This should make it easier for the user to get started on the program and not get lost in the details of how-to-do-this or how-to-do-that. We hope that the examples are reasonably intuitive. ```{toctree} typical/energygradients typical/scfstability typical/optimizations typical/GOAT typical/frequencies typical/excitedstates typical/mrci typical/mreom typical/solvationmodels typical/solvator typical/relativistic typical/properties typical/qmmm typical/esd typical/docker typical/compound ```
