 I will use the version elk.3.3.17 which I have got 2 years ago which it works for me ( I have tried with the last version elk-7.2.42 but I haven't succeded to install it ).

 

First,  we need to add the path to the  ~/.bashrc  file

 

#---------Elk path----------------------------------
export ELKROOT=/home/algerien/abinitio/elk-3.3.17/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ELKROOT

#---------------------------------------------------------

 

It's better to create a directory called bin and put the executables and the utilities inside it

 

algerien1970@linux-ml0a:~/abinitio/elk-3.3.17> mkdir bin
