[QE-users] Enquiries About Quantum Espresso (Installation & Operation)

[Paolo Giannozzi]

I don't know about Cygwin. Some time ago I managed to compile and run QE on
Windows as described here:

www.quantum-espresso.org/Doc/user_guide/node14.html#SECTION00037700000000000000
(well, sort of: the executable that had been working at home refused to
open directories when I used it in a hands-on session, much to my dismay).
If you have Windows 10 you may enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux and
run Linux from Windows. It is maybe not efficient  for production, but I
use it for development and it works very well.
