If it helps, I have summarized the steps (see below).

Assuming the user already did in w2web:

initialize calc.
run SCF
Bandstructure (Optional: Do if you want to later compare non-SO and SO bandstructure)

Switch to a terminal, while in the case directory, backup this completed non-spin polarized calculation with

1) save_lapw -d withoutSO

Note: This can also be done in w2web.

Initialize SO calculation in terminal with:

2) initso_lapw
    - Do you have a spinpolarized case (and want to run symmetso) ? N

Note: initso_lapw of w2web is currently not as beginner friendly as it is in a terminal

Switch back to w2web and run SCF + SO:

3) run SCF as usual, but with "spinorbit" box checked

4) Click Bandstructure in w2web and proceed as usual, but check all "-so" boxes

I want to calculate the Band-structure of Monolayer silicene in presence of Spin orbit coupling, But since silicene is not spin polarized material, I want to know how
I should run this.
