The Building Crystals and Slabs tutorial in the overview section is especially important for users of periodic codes like BAND, DFTB or Quantum ESPRESSO.

When you start ADFinput and switch to the Quantum ESPRESSO section, ADFinput will check if Quantum ESPRESSO is installed in such a way that the GUI can use it.
