Yambo Community Forum

Hello all,
I have installed Yambo on our personal group cluster which has internet access. During the installation, I have noticed that installation required internet. But in our institute cluster there is no internet access (Usually HPC do not provide the internet). So my question is:

Is there any to download all the required file and install Yambo without using internet??

If there is instruction guidelines, please feel free to refer that.


Thanks and regards,

Dear Mukesh,
usually HPC clusters have internet connection at least in the login nodes. So you can perform the operations that need the download there and then move to the compute nodes for the compilation. Otherwise you can download all the required libraries in you PC and then copy everything in the cluster. Here the procedure:

# in the login node or in your PC with internet connection
git clone https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo.git
cd yambo
git clone https://github.com/yambo-code/yambo-libraries.git lib/yambo
./configure
make download # this command download all the libs in the directory lib/archive
cd ..
tar zxvf yambo_with_libs.tgz yambo

Now you can copy the file yambo_with_libs.tgz on the cluster and use it for the compilation.

Best regards,
Nicola
