i-PI tool
-------------------
The tools/i-pi directory contains a version of the i-PI package, with
all the LAMMPS-unrelated files removed. It is provided so that it can
be used with the :doc:`fix ipi <fix_ipi>` command to perform
path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD).
The tools/i-pi directory used to contain a version of the i-PI package.
This version, however, was not updated and thus have become outdated.
The i-PI package was created and is maintained by Michele Ceriotti,
michele.ceriotti at gmail.com, to interface to a variety of molecular
dynamics codes.
See the tools/i-pi/manual.pdf file for an overview of i-PI, and the
:doc:`fix ipi <fix_ipi>` page for further details on running PIMD
calculations with LAMMPS.
i-PI is now available via PyPi using the pip package manager at:
https://pypi.org/project/i-PI/
Here are the commands to set up a virtual environment and install i-PI
into it with all its dependencies.
.. code-block:: sh
python -m venv ipienv
source ipienv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install i-PI
To install the development version from GitHub, please use:
.. code-block:: sh
pip install git+https://github.com/i-pi/i-pi.git
For further information, please consult the [i-PI home page](https://ipi-code.org).
