New to AiiDA. Question about loading specific pseudo families

I am trying to use a workflow that uses quantum espresso to produce band structure plots. I need to download a specific pseudo potential that is specified in the workflow (SSSP/1.2/PBEsol/efficiency) however when i run “aiida-pseudo install sssp” it only installs SSSP/1.1/PBE/efficiency and SSSP/1.3/PBE/efficiency. Is there a way I can specifically install the pseudopotential I need.

You can use aiida-pseudo install sssp --help for help instructions. It should print something like:

Usage: aiida-pseudo install sssp [OPTIONS]

  Install an SSSP configuration.

  The SSSP configuration will be automatically downloaded from the Materials
  Cloud Archive entry to create a new `SsspFamily`.

Options:
  -v, --version [1.0|1.1|1.2|1.3]
                                  Select the version of the installed
                                  configuration.  [default: 1.3]
  -x, --functional [PBE|PBEsol]   Select the functional of the installed
                                  configuration.  [default: PBE]
  -p, --protocol [efficiency|precision]
                                  Select the protocol of the installed
                                  configuration.  [default: efficiency]
  --download-only                 Only download the pseudopotential files to
                                  the current working directory, without
                                  installing the pseudopotential family.
  --from-download FILE            Install the pseudpotential family from
                                  archive and metadata downloaded with the
                                  `--download-only` option.
  -t, --traceback                 Include the stacktrace if an exception is
                                  encountered.
  --verbosity [notset|debug|info|report|warning|error|critical]
                                  Set the verbosity of the output.
  -h, --help                      Show this message and exit.

So to install another version you could use

aiida-pseudo install sssp -v 1.2 -x PBESol -p efficiency

Thank you. This worked perfectly.
