This guide gives a brief overview of the thermo_pw package. It gives you the minimal information needed to accomplish a given task. It assumes that you have already downloaded and compiled QUANTUM ESPRESSO and thermo_pw and you want to calculate some material property but you do not known where to start. The ultimate reference for the use of thermo_pw is its user's guide, however the capabilities of the code are rapidly expanding and the user's guide is becoming long, so if you do not want to read it entirely you can find here where the relevant information are. There might be some limitations on the type of functionals that you can use or the electronic structure scheme available to compute a given quantity. Please refer to the QUANTUM ESPRESSO documentation for this.
