Getting Questaal

Questaal is usually compiled from source for your machine, fill out this form for repository access and once you get your invitation e-mail and login to the bitbucket project page read this tutorial for how to compile it.

In any work where you disseminate information where you used Questaal to generate a portion of it, please cite the following reference:

The original density-functional code with a generalized LMTO basis set was first published in this book chapter:
