electron phonon coupling supercell

[saaxx2]

Dear Yambo users
my name is Salah Alsmairat, I am PhD student, trying to calculate electron phonon coupling constant for Al super cell, 2*2*2 , 32 atoms.
I am doing that using DFT codes, quantum espresso for example but it is time consuming. can I use Yambo without the need for qe, or abinit , or any other code. Is it faster?
I just downloaded yambo and I have no idea about it, could you please help me with that.
And could you please give me the steps in details to follow.

Thanks

Yambo is a many body code that needs a ground state as a starting point, so you need to calculate it using qe or abinit and next use the proper interface which come with the yambo suite.

I have no idea about it, could you please help me with that.

In the yambo webpage you can find step by step tutorials on how to use yambo:
