<div>I need some help with building and installing Quantum Espresso on my desktop running under Ubuntu 12.04. I am interested in running GPU accelerated TD-DFT calculations to compute excited-state properties, with occasional B3LYP geometry optimizations. One of the main issues I am having is the with the two different QE-GPU versions, there are version 5.01 and 5.02. However 5.02 contains much fewer and totally different files, and I am not sure which one to use. Any guidance or pointers on how to build and install QE on my system for the types of calculations i am looking for would be great. </div>
