hello
when you compile the qe, first the program creates all executables in
bin subdirectory of the top qe directory. Check if they are there.
If they are: you may either avoid the secod step either using the full
path to execute the program.
e.g. in my case
/home/pietro/q-e/bin/pw.x
or adding to the q-e/bin directory to the default path. For example in
my case:
type the bash command
export PATH=/home/pietro/q-e/bin:$PATH
The second installationt would be copying the executables in a specified
directory, that, if I am not wrong, by default is /usr/local/bin for
which you would need the administrator privileges.
The second thing you tried has nothing to do with the compilation of the
package.
It's ubuntu that knows that there is a debian package of
quantum-espresso available, and asks you if you want to install it. But
again to do this you need administrator privileges.
hope it helps
best regards -- Pietro

Dear all QE users,
I believed I had successfully installed QE 6.7 in a server, but when I
tried to run pw.x, it stated
bash: pw.x: command not fou
Install package 'quantum-espresso' to provide command 'pw.x'? [N/y]
However, when I entered y, the result was an error saying failed to
obtain authentication. Since I am new to Linux, I did a search on
google about this problem and most of the forum mentioned was about
"Fedora" and nothing about quantum espresso. If anybody knows of any
solution to this problem, your help will be greatly appreciated.
