 While some solid state code packages (like [[http://www.quantum-espresso.org/|Quantum Espresso]]) contain functionality to calculate phonon spectra, CP2K does not. Using the [[http://atztogo.github.io/phonopy/|Phonopy]] package it is nevertheless possible to calculate them using the Finite Displacement Method (FDM) with CP2K as the backend to calculate the forces. While some solid state code packages (like [[http://www.quantum-espresso.org/|Quantum Espresso]]) contain functionality to calculate phonon spectra, CP2K does not.

-Since the support for CP2K in Phonopy was added very recently and no new version of Phonopy was released yet, you have to install it in your home-directory on the server from a snapshot of the source code repository using the following command which will download the package and its requirements:+You can install Phonopy in your home-directory on the server by running the followingwhich will download the package and its requirements:
