Let us suppose we are going to use Quantum-ESPRESSO 6.2.1 on a genetic platform, say, a Linux-based computer. Use Quantum-ESPRESSO 6.1, if you want to use the WEST code.
Let us first make directories for source codes, pseudopotentials, and calculations for Quantum-ESPRESSO in the home directory, for e.g.
$ mkdir -p QE/src $ mkdir -p QE/pseudo $ mkdir -p QE/out
Download qe-6.2.1 from gitlab and move it to the source directory (in the current example, $(HOME)/QE/src) or perform
wget https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/archive/qe-6.2.1/q-e-qe-6.2.1.tar.gz
Expand the source code, e.g.,
$ gzip -dc q-e-qe-6.2.1.tar.gz | tar xf -
and get q-e-qe-6.2.1. In the following this is renamed as
$ mv q-e-qe-6.2.1 qe-6.2.1
Usually, we execute
$ ./configure
and edit make.inc and set the appropriate options. or execute the following:
$ MPIF90=mpiifort DFLAGS='-D__OPENMP -D__FFTW3 -D__MPI -D__SCALAPACK' FFT_LIBS=-lfftw3 SCALAPACK_LIBS='-lmkl_scalapack_lp64 -lmkl_blacs_intelmpi_lp64' ./configure --enable-openmp
This is valid for our PC cluster, but can be applicable to other platform. If no error is issued, build pw by typing
make pw
Ohter programs can be found by just typing
make
I usually build PW as well as PP by typing
make pw pp
If you like to perform phonon calculations do
make ph
To install West, follow the instruction given in this page (note the link is for the latest one). y.
