Plan for the ICTP 2020 school tutorials (work in progress)

Info from the ICTP website. Info from the website.

Setting up the Environment

- Option 1: Virtual machine via ICTP cloud (strongly suggested mode, works through internet connection inside a browser)

- Option 2: Install Yambo via Docker on your laptop / desktop (requirements??)

- Option 3: Install the yambo virtual machine on your laptop / desktop (requires Oracle virtual box)

- Option 4: Download and install yambo on your laptop / desktop (requires a linux machine). Next downlaod the yambo tuotrials
