Linux on x86\_64
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After downloading and unpacking the
For Linux with x86\_64 CPU there are currently two variants. The first
is compiled on Ubuntu 20.04LTS, is using some wrapper scripts, and
should be compatible with more recent Linux distributions. After
downloading and unpacking the
``LAMMPS-Linux-x86_64-GUI-<version>.tar.gz`` package. You can switch
into the "LAMMPS_GUI" folder and execute "./lammps-gui" directly.
The second variant uses `flatpak <https://www.flatpak.org>`_ and
requires the flatpak management and runtime software to be installed.
After downloading the ``LAMMPS-GUI-Linux-x86_64-GUI-<version>.tar.gz``
flatpak bundle, you can install it with ``flatpak install --user
LAMMPS-GUI-Linux-x86_64-GUI-<version>.tar.gz``. After installation,
LAMMPS-GUI should be integrated into your desktop environment under
"Applications > Science" but also can be launched from the console with
``flatpak run org.lammps.lammps-gui``. The flatpak bundle also includes
the console LAMMPS executable ``lmp`` which can be launched to run
simulations with, for example: ``flatpak run --command=lmp
org.lammps.lammps-gui -in in.melt``.
