Installation
Preinstall
The Yambo source code can be downloaded from:
GitHub:
https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo
https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Direct download the tgz file:
https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo/wiki/Releases-(tar.gz-format)
Yambo can make good use of external libraries like FFTW, ESSL, BLAS, netCDF, and so on. It is worth identifying if they are already installed on your system, especially for HPCs.
Quick install
If you are lucky, the configure script will successfully find the best compiler options.
% tar -xvzf yambo-latest.tar.gz % cd yambo-X.X.X % ./configure % make yambo ypp interfaces
Executables are found in the bin folder. To check that it works:
% ./bin/yambo Cannot access CORE database (SAVE/*db1 and/or SAVE/*wf)
Full install
In general, however, some fine-tuning will be necessary to link the requested libraries.
./configure --help
for a large set of options.
Configure options for yambo 4.4.0
Configure options for yambo 5.0
[Known issues]
After configure, you can also edit the config/setup file.
