Hello Punit
In you are input, in the control section, you are setting restart_mode
variable to "restart", which assumes that you had run a first
calculation and this new one should restart upon the previous results.
For this reason the program tries to read the the older calculation data
from a file written on exit. It might be that you first calculation
terminated too abruptly and before it had any occasion to print out any
restart data, in that case you have to restart from scratch.
If this case as well as in the case that this is actually your starting
calculation you should set the restart_mode to "from_scratch" and
everything should work fine.
You can find clearer info about this at this link

Hello QE users
I have recently started working on quantum espresso. I have installed
QE 6.2 and after installation I have tried to do structure
optimization of bukl Ni crystal and I have got the following error

Since I am new to this field, I am not able to figure out this
problem. Any help regarding this error is highly appreciated. I have
also attached my input file.
