To be able to follow the school you need a running version of the yambo/QE codes, and the files and databases needed to run the tutorials.


You have several options to prepare all needed to run the tutorials.
Detailed instructions about the code(s) installation can be found [[Tutorials#Setting_up_Yambo_(and_eventually_QE)|in this dedicated page]].


=== Virtual Machine(s) ===
After installing the code you can setup the tutorial files following the instructions provided in the [[Tutorials#Tutorial_files|Tutorial files page]].
The easiest way is to access to a virtual machine which contains both (i) yambo and (ii) the tutorials.
 
You can do it in two alternative ways:
* Virtual machine via [[ICTP cloud|ICTP cloud]] ('''strongly suggested mode''', works through internet connection inside a browser)
* Install the [[Yambo_Virtual_Machine|yambo virtual machine]] on your laptop / desktop (requires Oracle virtual box. Pre-download of the Virtual machine. No internet connection needed)

=== User installation  ===
You can also setup the yambo code on your on laptop / desktop using different methods.
 
As far as the Yambo source is concerned you can:
* Install [[Yambo via Docker|Yambo via Docker]]
* [[download|Download]] and [[Installation|install]] yambo on your laptop / desktop (requires a linux machine).
* Install yambo on your laptop/desktop/cluster [https://github.com/nicspalla/my-repo via Spack].
 
Tutorials, instead, can be installed in two ways:
* Download the tutorial files following the [[Tutorials|instructions here]]
* Here the instruction to install [[Yambopy via conda|Yambopy via conda]]

Setting up Yambo, QE and the tutorials

To be able to follow the school you need a running version of the yambo/QE codes, and the files and databases needed to run the tutorials.

Detailed instructions about the code(s) installation can be found in this dedicated page.

After installing the code you can setup the tutorial files following the instructions provided in the Tutorial files page.

Sunday 19 Feb

For who will be already in Nairobi we will have a get together & Yambo installation session at the YMCA Central starting. Time will be decided on the basis of who will participate.
