LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code with a focus on materials modeling.
I'm using a module from EasyBuild for compilers.
Or build with GCC compiler (OpenMPI)
module purge
module load foss/2023a
module load CMake/3.26.3-GCCcore-12.3.0
Or build with Intel compiler (IntelMPI)
module purge
module load intel/2022a
module load CMake/3.23.1-GCCcore-11.3.0
Build
curl -O https://download.lammps.org/tars/lammps-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzf lammps-stable.tar.gz
cd lammps-2Aug2023
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../cmake -D PKG_DRUDE=yes -D PKG_EXTRA-COMPUTE=yes -D PKG_EXTRA-DUMP=yes -D PKG_EXTRA-FIX=yes -D PKG_FEP=yes -D PKG_KSPACE=yes -D PKG_MISC=yes -D PKG_MOLECULE=yes -D PKG_RIGID=yes -D PKG_INTEL=yes
