 Here is how you might run and visualize one of the sample problems:
 
 cd indent
-cp ../../src/lmp_linux .           # copy LAMMPS executable to this dir
-lmp_linux < in.indent              # run the problem
+cp ../../src/lmp_mpi .           # copy LAMMPS executable to this dir
+lmp_mpi < in.indent              # run the problem
 
 Running the simulation produces the files {dump.indent} and
 {log.lammps}.  You can visualize the dump file as follows:
