This guide gives a brief overview of the possibilities of the thermo_pw package. It is a sort of HOWTO that gives you the most important information needed to accomplish a given task. It assumes that you have already downloaded and compiled QUANTUM ESPRESSO and thermo_pw and that you have some task to do and want to 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 more and more complex, so if you do not want to read it entirely you can find here some indications about where to find the information you need. This tutorial tells you in which file to find the quantity that you need. 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.
