Yambo Community Forum

Dear Moderator.
I am completely new with YAMBO so please excuse me ignorance in advance...

I am trying to use the a2y in order to transform the abinit format in yambo format in the 3D_LiF/Abinit directory, but once I execute the command

localhost:Abinit>a2y -F LiF_out_DS2_KSS

I get

|__| /__/ \__\ |__| |__| |______/ \______/

<---> [01] A(binit) 2 Y(ambo)
<---> Checking input file ...failed

... my question is: must Also Abinit be installed with YAMBO?

(Compilation of Yambo with NETCDF seems to be OK)


Thanks in advance,
G

Dear Giacsport,

Did you run Abinit in order to generate the KSS file before running a2y ? If you need more informations about how to generate the KSS file please read here.

P.S.: Please include your full name and affiliation in your signature. THANKS !

Excuse me. You are completely right!

Dear Giacomo,
I'm going to move your topic in the section dedicated to "Importing core database".
