ICTP 2022
A general description of the goal(s) of the school can be found on the ICTP website and on the Yambo main website.
Setting up the Environment
To be able to follow the school you need (i) a running version of the yambo code, and (ii) the files and databases needed to run the tutorials. Below four alternative options to achieve that.
Access to a virtual machine which contains both (i) yambo and (ii) the tutorials. These two options are platform independent
- Option 1: Virtual machine via ICTP cloud (strongly suggested mode, works through internet connection inside a browser)
- Option 2: Install the yambo virtual machine on your laptop / desktop (requires Oracle virtual box. Pre-download of the Virtual machine. No internet connection needed)
Set-up the (i) yambo code on your on laptop / desktop
- Option 3.i: Install Yambo via Docker (requirements??)
- Option 4.i: Download and install yambo on your laptop / desktop (requires a linux machine).
and independently (ii)
- Options 3-4.ii: download the tutorial files following the instructions here
