Setting up Yambo

In order to get the yambo code in your machine you have multiple options:

  • Yambo Quantum Machine
  • Yambo Container
  • Install the Yambo source in your computer

Setting up the Yambo Quantum Machine

The tutorials can be run on a dedicated Quantum Machine. This is run by installing it as Virtual Machine with the VirtualBox program. To install the Yambo Quantum Machine in your computer follow exactly the instructions listed below:

Setting up the Yambo Container

An alternative to get the Yambo code is to install the Yambo container in your machine and this can be done in few steps:

  • Install the docker platform (Linux or Mac). Follow the instruction in the docker website.
  • Pull the Yambo container:
 >sudo docker pull nicspalla/yambo-gcc_openmp_mkl:latest

sudo it is not necessary if your user is part of the group named docker

  • You are done. To run Yambo into the container:
 >docker_command="docker run -ti --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/tmpdir -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 nicspalla/yambo-gcc_openmp_mkl:latest"
 >$docker_command yambo -F yambo.in -J yambo.out

If the yambo container is working correctly you should obtain:

yambo: cannot access CORE database (SAVE/*db1 and/or SAVE/*wf)
>$docker_command yambo -h

should provide in output the help for yambo usage.

Install the Yambo source and tutorials in your computer

In this case just follow the instructions to download and install the Yambo source in your computer. After this get the tutorial files.
