Plan for the CECAM VIRTUAL 2021 school tutorials. https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/1081
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 (suggested on Linux!).
For Linux users:
sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
For Mac users:
sudo dscl . create /Groups/docker sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a $USER -t user docker
Log out and log back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated.
- You are done. To run Yambo into the container:
docker run -ti \ --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/tmpdir \ -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=8 \ nicspalla/yambo-gcc_openmp_mkl:latest \ yambo -F yambo.in -J yambo.out
Otherwise (suggested!), copy and paste the code below in a file, i.e called drun.sh:
#!/bin/bash docker run -ti \ --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/tmpdir \ -e OMP_NUM_THREADS=8 \ nicspalla/yambo-gcc_openmp_mkl:latest $@
then give the file execute privileges:
chmod +x drun.sh
Move (or copy) this file in the directory where you want to use Yambo and use it as prefix of your Yambo calculation:
./drun.sh yambo -F yambo.in -J yambo.out
If the yambo container is working correctly you should obtain:
./drun.sh yambo yambo: cannot access CORE database (SAVE/*db1 and/or SAVE/*wf)
>./drun.sh 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 source on your computer. After this get the tutorial files.
