The THERMO_PW package is tightly bound to QUANTUM ESPRESSO. It cannot be compiled without it. To download and compile QUANTUM ESPRESSO, please refer to the general User's Guide, available in the file Doc/user_guide.pdf in the root QUANTUM ESPRESSO directory, or on the web site

http://www.quantum-espresso.org.

The main distribution page of Thermo_pw is

where you can download one of the .tar.gz files. Please match carefully THERMO_PW and QUANTUM ESPRESSO versions as illustrated in Table 1. For the versions of QUANTUM ESPRESSO not listed here, there is no THERMO_PW package. The source files of THERMO_PW can be obtained by unpacking the .tar.gz file in the root QUANTUM ESPRESSO directory, for instance with the command tar -xzvf thermo_pw.1.9.0.tar.gz.
You can also download the git version of THERMO_PW as described at the web page: https://dal corso.github.io/thermo_pw/thermo_pw_help.html. The git version of THERMO_PW contains the most recent features and bug fixes but it might work only with the git version of QUANTUM ESPRESSO and its use for production is not recommended.
