Apart from what is obvious (from a Google Search), what are the various resources available if I want to learn how to do something in VASP (for example, starting an HSE06 calculation)?

3$\begingroup$ This is a rather generic question for which it is probably best to look directly at the Vaspwiki, for example: vasp.at/wiki/index.php/NiO_HSE06 $\endgroup$– ProfMJul 28, 2020 at 19:49

3$\begingroup$ Agree with ProfM, VASPwiki does a good job explaining the steps and the procedure. They even provide the input files that you can test. VASP for the most part, is extremely well documented. $\endgroup$– Xivi76Jul 28, 2020 at 20:14

Vasp has a very comprehensive online Manual setup in the format of a Wiki. That should always be your starting point for getting started with any type of calculation. The Vaspwiki includes things like:

- Descriptions of input parameters, with details about when they are necessary or important.
- Several worked examples with sample input files to use as a starting point.
As an example, for HSE06 calculations you can find these details:
