The tutorials are meant to give some introductory background to the key concepts behind Yambo. Practical topics such as convergence are also discussed. Nonetheless, users are invited to first read and study the background material in order to get familiar with the fundamental physical quantities. We recommend that you complete the tutorials before trying to use Yambo for your system.

You must have a working environment where both Yambo and Yambopy (and eventually QE or abinit) are installed. If you are starting out with Yambo, we suggest to follow this page with a detailed explanation about how to set up all you need for running the tutorials.

In the left main menu you can access the different Tutorials sections:
