ABINIT Discussion Forums

Dear All ;
I am beginner in ABINIT 6.4.1.I have started working with tutorial , but once I want to run executable file from the installed path ,I do not know how could it be possible?
I type in the terminal : [path]/scr/98_main
and I go to 98_main directory (in which abinit.exe is here)
Then what should I do to Run this executable ?What should I type in the Terminal?

Are you sure it is named "abinit.exe" ... a file name finishing with a .exe is usually a Windows binary.

Anyway you didn't install your compiled application - not a problem - and you managed to change to the src/98_main directory where the binary lives - fine. To keep the disk tidy, create a working directory and change to it with
Copy the abinit-6.4.1/tests/tutorial/Input/t11.in (i.e. input parameters file) and abinit-6.4.1/tests/Psps_for_tests/01h.pspgth (i.e. pseudopotential file for hydrogen) with (adapt xxx to your directory structure)
And then launch abinit with
Reply to the questions and enter the input and pseudo file names when asked. The program run for a fraction of seconds and display (a lot of) information. List the directory, you should have a few new files (xxx.DEN, xxx.EIG, ...). You just finished the first exercise of tutorial 1.
