+Pre-built Fedora Linux executables :h4,link(fedora)
+
+Pre-built LAMMPS packages for stable releases are available
+in the Fedora Linux distribution as of version 28. The packages
+can be installed via the dnf package manager. There are 3 basic
+varieties (lammps = no MPI, lammps-mpich = MPICH MPI library,
+lammps-openmpi = OpenMPI MPI library) and for each support for
+linking to the C library interface (lammps-devel, lammps-mpich-devel,
+lammps-openmpi-devel), the header for compiling programs using
+the C library interface (lammps-headers), and the LAMMPS python
+module for Python 3. All packages can be installed at the same
+time and the name of the LAMMPS executable is {lmp} in all 3 cases.
+By default, {lmp} will refer to the serial executable, unless
+one of the MPI environment modules is loaded 
+("module load mpi/mpich-x86_64" or "module load mpi/openmpi-x86_64").
+Then the corresponding parallel LAMMPS executable is used.
+The same mechanism applies when loading the LAMMPS python module.
+
+To install LAMMPS with OpenMPI and run an input in.lj with 2 CPUs do:
+
+dnf install lammps-openmpi
+module load mpi/openmpi-x86_64
+mpirun -np 2 lmp -in in.lj :pre
+
+The "dnf install" command is needed only once. In case of a new LAMMPS
+stable release, "dnf update" will automatically update to the newer
+version as soon at the RPM files are built and uploaded to the download
+mirrors. The "module load" command is needed once per (shell) session
+or shell terminal instance, unless it is automatically loaded from the
+shell profile.
+
+Please use "lmp -help" to see which compilation options, packages,
+and styles are included in the binary.
+
+Thanks to Christoph Junghans (LANL) for making LAMMPS available in Fedora.

+Pre-built EPEL Linux executable :h4,link(epel)
+
+Pre-built LAMMPS packages for stable releases are available
+in the "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository"_https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
+for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS version 7.x
+and compatible Linux distributions. Names of packages, executable,
+and content are the same as described above for Fedora Linux.
+But RHEL/CentOS 7.x uses the "yum" package manager instead of "dnf"
+in Fedora 28.
+
+Please use "lmp -help" to see which compilation options, packages,
+and styles are included in the binary.

+Thanks to Christoph Junghans (LANL) for making LAMMPS available in EPEL.

+Pre-built OpenSuse Linux executable :h4,link(opensuse)
+
+A pre-built LAMMPS package for stable releases is available
+in OpenSuse as of Leap 15.0. You can install the package with:
+
+zypper install lammps :pre
+
+This includes support for OpenMPI. The name of the LAMMPS executable
+is {lmp}. Thus to run an input in parallel on 2 CPUs you would do:
+
+mpirun -np 2 lmp -in in.lj :pre
+
+Please use "lmp -help" to see which compilation options, packages,
+and styles are included in the binary.
+
+Thanks to Christoph Junghans (LANL) for making LAMMPS available in OpenSuse.
