Installing Quantum ESPRESSO (serial) on Linux-UBUNTU [TUTORIAL]

[@PhysWhiz]

If you guys get "STOP 1 " message or an error like "Error in routine readpp (1): file C:\Users\manas\.burai\.pseudopot/Fe.pbe-nd-rrkjus.UPF not found" in the output file, then it is because of the wrong path/address of Pseudopotential provided in the pseudo_dir attribute of input file. You can use pseudo_dir = '.' in the input file instead. Download the updated input files here: www.bragitoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/QE_Sample_Input_Files.zip

My 'bin' folder is empty, why is that happening? Can anyone help me?

[@suleimanbashiradamu]

Thank you very much for this video. You are one of the best tutors that I will always recommend.

I am unable to activate the materials API search option in BURAI

[@alexderak8676]

Hi, I have a problem in the last part when we copy the pw.x and i run the test. There is a message STOP 1 and in the output file say "Error in routine readpp (1): file C:\Users\manas\.burai\.pseudopot/Fe.pbe-nd-rrkjus.UPF not found" Could you help me?

[@PhysWhiz]

Use the address of the PP for your PC. This is where I stored the PP--->>. C:\Users\manas\.burai You should use the address corresponding to your PC.

Sir bin folder didn't install in my laptop. It got crashed giving error =could not find namelist and control

No such file or directory error after make pw command, how to solve it

How can i install qe on windows? please could you help me i cant do that

[@sayanjitb]

For my case make pw command r make all, none of them are working. It is showing Makefile:9:make.inc: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'make.inc'. stop. please help me out. TIA

[@anilrai7734]

make pw command didn't work in my terminal sir.. There is warning= nonexistent include durectory

[@SAJALPHYS]

Sir when I'm giving this command 'make all' showing the following error: sajal@sajal-Acer-one-14-Z422:~/qe-7.0-ReleasePack/qe-7.0$ make all Command 'make' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install make # version 4.2.1-1.2, or sudo apt install make-guile # version 4.2.1-1.2 Please help.

[@wenusarasatheekshana1738]

install make in given versions

[@PhysWhiz]

Sorry for the late reply. But the solution is in the error itself. You need to install 'make'. Run this in the terminal sudo apt-get install --reinstall make

[@collectorsspace]

thank you so much for this video !!

[@baharulislamlaskar04]

Dear Sir, I'm looking forward to knowing from you about how to install quantum espresso (in parallel) on an Ubuntu platform.

[@ManasSharma07]

Next tutorial will be about that

[@baharulislamlaskar04]

I would be really grateful to you then!

[@PhysWhiz]

Sorry for being late. But I just uploaded a tutorial for that. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIGke3qog82NeJo Essentially you just need to install openmpi somehow.

[@baharulislamlaskar04]

Thank you very much, Sir!

[@동진쎄미켐-v5w]

i installed it as you teach. but i only can use MPI but not openMP. what shall I install more?

[@jodieryngnga7731]

i also face" stop 1" in the terminal when i copy pw.x . i don't understand when you mention use the corresponding address in the previous comment

[@PhysWhiz]

Could you please write down the complete error. In a previous comment they mention that the error is because of the wrong address of Pseudopotential provided in the pseudo_dir attribute of input file. This is because the address was corresponding to what it was on my PC but won't work for others like you. If that is the error you got then maybe you can try by using this updated set of input files: www.bragitoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/QE_Sample_Input_Files.zip This should definitely work.

Nothing to be done for pw kya kren?

What is minimum configuration (computational hardware) requirement for electronic structural calculation like Ferrites and magnetic materials using Quantum Espresso?

[@ravtepdav]

thank you so much Do you know how can I open now QE if I already install it? I am new in these thing of Ubuntu:(

[@othoncampos1069]

I want your help to install quantum espresso

[@SkanderTALEBHACINE]

Thanks alot , but where is the Sample Files to test installation? there is no such file above?! thanks again

I'm sorry for forgetting to add the link to that. I've now added the link in the description. www.bragitoff.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/QE_Sample_Input_Files.zip

Instead of writing make pw. ..I tried it by using make all command but after installation when I tried to run one example from examples folder it shows that mpirun: not found Kindly help me out

[@PhysWhiz]

Because mpirun is an independent command that enable parallel computing. It is possible that you may not have it installed. First verify that your bin folder has the quantum espresso executables lile pw.x, etc. The try to run pw.x inputfile > outputfile Make sure that you run the above command from the directory where you have the input file. If this works then we can try to discuss abiut how to install mpirun.

[@PhysWhiz]

Also as you can see in the title above, this video only explains serial compilation. For parallel compilation refer to this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIGke3qog82NeJo The command to install mpirun is given in the description of the linked video

You can first try to just run it in the terminal. If it works then you can add it to the bashrc.
