# Installation
## Requirements
* Fortran compiler (`ifort` and `gfortran` are tested)
* Python >= 2.6
* GNU make
* Bash
* Blas/Lapack
* unzip
* g++ (For ninja)
## Standard installation
### 1) Configure
$ ./configure <config_file>
For example you can type `./configure config/gfortran.cfg`
This command has two purposes :
- Download and install all the requirements.
Installing OCaml and the Core library may take some time (up to 20min on an old machine).
- Create the file which contains all the dependencies for the binaries.
It's not a Makefile, but a Ninja file (so don't type `make` it's hopeless, type `ninja` instead)
#### Compilation Flags (`<config_file>`)
`<config_file>` is the path to the file which contains all the compilation flags (optimization flags, Lapack libary, etc). There are two example configure files in ``$QP_ROOT/config`` : ``ifort.cfg`` and ``gfortran.cfg``. You can copy these files to create a new file adapted to your architecture.
### 2) Load environment variables
source quantum_package.rc
This file contains all the environment variables needed by the quantum package both to compile and run. This should also be done before running calculations.
### Optional) Add some modules
```
Usage:
qp_module.py create -n <name> [<children_modules>...]
qp_module.py download -n <name> [<path_folder>...]
qp_module.py install <name>...
qp_module.py list (--installed | --available-local)
qp_module.py uninstall <name>
```
For exemple you can type :
`qp_module.py install Full_CI`
### 3) Compiling the Fortran
Just type `ninja` if you are in `$QP_ROOT`. The compilation will take approximately 3 min.
### 5) Testing if all is ok
cd tests ; ./run_tests.sh
# Note on EZFIO.cfg
## Format specification:
```
Required:
[<provider_name>] The name of the provider in irp.f90 and in the EZFIO lib
doc:<str> The plain text documentation
type:<str> A type supported by the OCaml.
type `ei_handler.py get_supported_type` for a list
interface:<str> The interface is a list of strings sepeared by "," which can contain :
- ezfio : to build the EZFIO API
- provider : to build the corresponding providers
- ocaml : to build the corresponding bindings in OCaml
Optional:
default: <str> The default value,
needed if 'ocaml' is in interface list.
! No list is allowed for now !
size: <str> The size information.
(by default is one)
Example : 1; =sum(ao_num); (ao_num,3)
WARNING : The module and the value are separed by a "." not a "_".
For example (determinants.n_det)
ezfio_name: <str> The name in the EZFIO API
(by default is <provider_name>)
ezfio_dir: <str> Will be the directory of EZFIO.
(by default is <module_lower>)
```
## Example of EZFIO.cfg:
```
[thresh_SCF]
doc: Threshold on the convergence of the Hartree Fock energy
type: Threshold
default: 1.e-10
interface: provider,ezfio,ocaml
size: 1
[energy]
type: Strictly_negative_float
doc: Calculated HF energy
interface: ezfio
```
# FAQ
### My hartree-Fock segfault !
A old version of Lapack have a bug. Just relax your convergence criterium
### Error: ezfio_* is already defined.
#### Why ?
You have two or more ezfio configuration files for the same variable. Check files in `$QP_ROOT/install/EZFIO/config/` and the all the `EZFIO.cfg`.
#### Fix
- rm $QP_ROOT/install/EZFIO/config/*
- ninja
### Error: Seg Fault (139)
```
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Program exited with code 139.
```
#### Why ?
It's caused when we call the DGEMM routine of LAPACK.
#### Fix
Set `ulimit -s unlimited`, before runing `qp_run`. It seems to fix the problem.
#### Error: f77zmq not symbol found
In the Makefile of the f77zmq, you should NOT use ar but `libtool -static`
