AiiDA Quantum ESPRESSO

This is the official Quantum ESPRESSO plugin for AiiDA.

The develop branch, which will become aiida-quantumespresso v3.0.0, is only compatible with aiida-core v1.0.0 and up. For support for older versions of aiida-core use aiida-quantumespresso v2.*.

Documentation

The documentation for this package can be found on Read the Docs at http://aiida-quantumespresso.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Command line interface scripts

The plugin provides several cli scripts that make it easy to quickly launch some of the calculations and workchains that are implemented. If you install the package with pip, the scripts will automatically be registered in your path and you should be able to call them directly. The names can be found in the 'setup.json' under the key 'console_scripts'.

For example, to launch a test PwCalculation you can run the following command:

launch_calculation_pw -c pw-v6.1 -p SSSP_v0.7_eff_PBE -s 134

Each cli script has a fully documented command line interface, which can be printed to screen with:

launch_calculation_pw --help

which should print something like the following:
