- CMake can detect available hardware, tools, features, and libraries
and adapt the LAMMPS default build configuration accordingly.
- CMake can generate files for different build tools and integrated
development environments (IDE).
- CMake supports customization of settings with a command line, text
mode, or graphical user interface. No knowledge of file formats or

It is also possible to use CMake on Windows 10 or 11 through either the Microsoft
Visual Studio IDE with the bundled CMake or from the Windows command prompt using
a separately installed CMake package, both using the native Microsoft Visual C++
compilers and (optionally) the Microsoft MPI SDK. This tutorial, however, only
covers unix-like command line interfaces.

or used Git to create a clone of the LAMMPS sources on your compilation machine.
