I want to install QE-5.1.1 in Win using cygwin, but when I run make all code, this error is shown:
I have installed g95 in QE... directory. it seems ok!
the ./configure works correctly and Libraries are listed as below:
>The following libraries have been found:
>BLAS_LIBS=/home/Hossein/espresso-5.1/BLAS/blas.a
>LAPACK_LIBS=/home/Hossein/espresso-5.1/lapack-3.2/lapack.a
>FFT_LIBS=
>Please check if this is what you expect.
when run make all, the error is as below::
>Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'iotk_module.mod' at (1) for reading: No suc
>h file or directory
>make[1]: *** [open_close_input_file.o] Error 1

What should I do to fix it?
Hello Hossein, its quite complex but try to use linux probably partition your pc
ok, but I am using cygwin, and what should I do with mentioned error?
Thank you for your response Mustapha
It is very better to use Linux for computational purpose, but you can download windows version of QE from attached address (.exe extention files) and a pdf file that explains the installation of QE on windows

Dear Ahmad I know that linux is better and as I don't have linux, I use linux-like environment Cygwin in my Win to install and use it.
but I have problems in installing, I stuck with the aforementioned error during installation.
I want to know what should I do to solve those problems and in other words what packages should I have in order to install QE correctly?
Best, Hossein
Do you download below pdf file as I say?

It doesn't need cygwin to install newer version of QE on windows!!!
And trying to install QE via cygwin is harder than trying to install linux and install QE on it and QE on cygwin has lower performance. I suggest you to install a linux distribution such as ubuntu (14.04) then you can install QE simply!!
You can get some help from below website:

Hi Hossein,
I just dealt with this issue today. The solution was I didn't use cygwin at all. I know I can use it but it is much simpler if I just command prompt.
This what I did:
Start typing pw and followed with clicking enter, you then would be able to immediately compile your input file. I still have not yet known how to call the input files to be displayed on command prompt, but it helps as a beginning.
I hope it helps.
Sincerely,
Efi
Hi Hossein Daneshpajooh
Could you use Quantum Espresso in Windows finally? I would like to know all the detail steps that you followed to use this. Many thanks for your help.
Hi Efi Dwi Indari
Recently I am trying to use Quantum Espresso to learn DFT. I am completely new in QE. I can see here that you could run QE just by typing pw in cmd promt. In my case it just says "waiting for the input". Can you help me in this ?/many thanks for help..
Hi Hossein,
I think that, the detailed tutorial on the following link is very useful for installation of QE on Windows. You can use Google Translator to translate the page. Thank you very much.

Sore for joining this question late, but if it's still of relevance you can also try the Windows binaries which can be downloaded (and used) with the ADF Modeling Suite: https://www.scm.com/support/downloads/gui-for-quantum-espresso/
