Prerequisites

Before installing FAST obtain and install the following :

• Fortran and C++ compilers (Intel version 12.x or higher / Gnu 4.2.1 or higher).
• CMake version 2.8.2 or higher and a working compiler. On Unix-like operating systems, FAST also requires Make.
• The SIESTA XC Exchange correlation library.
• The BLAS, LAPACK and FFTW libraries.
• MPI version 1.4.4 or higher if parallel execution is required.
• The GNU scientific library version 1.15 or higher is required.

N.B. Although FAST is a parallel code, all the above routines are used in sequential mode in the tddft code.
