Update: I have tried to automatize the open source ab-initio codes Quantum Espresso and YAMBO to compute ground state and excited state energies. These automatic scripts using Quantum Espresso (6.7MAX) +YAMBO (v5.1) are now available in my GitHub I have tried to write the flow in a super easy to understand format, so that anyone can run these lengthy and cascaded consecutive flows without losing much time in between. The folder names are compatible also to the yambopy process-flow.
