CECAM VIRTUAL 2021
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:
- VirtualBox is installed on your PC. To find it open a terminal and
>which virtualbox /usr/bin/virtualbox
- The Yambo Quantum Machine image (.ova file) is already in the /scratch
>cd /scratch >/scratch$ ls (...) YAMBO_Quantum_Mobile.ova
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) from 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
