A downloadable User Guide is forthcoming!
Spasmos users should be familiar with UNIX and UNIX-like command line environments and with the Python programming language, since Spasmos programs are essentially Python programs that use Spasmos functionality. The Python website contains an excellent set of documentation for this simple and powerful language, including a useful tutorial. Detailed documentation for the aforementioned tools is provided by the Spasmos modules themselves using Python's built-in documentation system.
