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.
