Don't start shouting...
1) There is a clear scheme (you are using it), but not all the defaults
that are meant for normal solids work well for a highly artificial case
as an almost empty supercell with a single free atom. You need to
understand a bit more of the background of the method than is usually
needed for a solid. No step-by-step scheme can subsitute for this
understanding.
2) For a solid state code that works with crystals, a free atom *is*
harder to calculate than a bulk solid...
