Yambo source download

The Yambo source can be downloaded from the QE-Forge portal. Either a full access to the SVN repository or tar-balls and patches are available.

Getting the latest snapshot with subversion

For those of you who don't know what Subversion is, Subversion is a version control system that is something like an improved CVS. For more information, see here. The subversion book is online together with the FAQ page.

You need to have subversion (executable svn) installed on your machine to download the Yambo source.

To obtain the GPL source, do this:
  • Register. You will get a user-name ( QE-FORGE-USERNAME) and a password (QE-FORGE-PASSWORD) you will use to gain access to the SVN repository.
  • once registered you can subscribe to the mailing-lists we have created to keep the user up-to-date
  • use the qe-forge password and user-name to download the source
  • join to the yambo project: [Request to join]

    svn checkout svn+ssh://QE-FORGE-USERNAME@scm.qe-forge.org/svn/yambo

Note on revision numbering: Regular users of the Yambo repository will notice that the revision numbering has apparently been reset to 1: this coincides with the creation of a separate Yambo GPL source on QE-forge (see the forum announcement for details). The new repository contains the source files for the first official tarball releases (3.1.2 (r300), 3.2.0 (r315), and 3.2.1 (r448) are present as new revisions 1, 2, and 3), as well as newer commits. However, Yambo still internally makes use of the old revision numbering, as seen in the report files, e.g. new revision 4 outputs:

# GPL Version 3.2.2 Revision 616
Thus when reporting problems, make sure to quote the internal revision number!

SVN repository ? No thanks, I want the tar-balls

In this case go directly to the files section of the Yambo project page. No registration and/or password is required. Nevertheless we warmly invite all Yambo users to use the SVN repository whenever possible.
