2.5 Compilation

There are a few adjustable parameters in Modules/parameters.f90. The present values will work for most cases. All other variables are dynamically allocated: you should never need to recompile your code.

At your choice, you may compile the complete QUANTUM ESPRESSO suite of programs (with make all), or only some specific programs. make with no arguments yields a list of valid compilation targets:

For the setup of the GUI, refer to the PWgui-X.Y.Z /INSTALL file, where X.Y.Z stands for the version number of the GUI (should be the same as the general version number). If you are using sources from the git repository, see the GUI/README file instead.

If make refuses for some reason to download additional packages, manually download them into subdirectory archive/, not unpacking or uncompressing them, and try make again. Also see Sec.([*]).
