[QE-developers] Quantum espresso on windows

[Nicola Marzari]

Dear Hasna,

an alternative that will work smoothly is to install a virtual machine: 
you get VirtualBox from Oracle (free and open source) and then the 
Quantum Mobile, and you have QE and many other codes ready to run. All
info (super simple - it's been done so that even I can run QE) is here:
