+LAMMPS with the version of Python on your system.
+After successfully building LAMMPS with Python, you need to
+install the kim-property Python package, which can be easily done using
+*pip* as ``pip install kim-property``, or from the *conda-forge* channel as
+``conda install kim-property`` if LAMMPS is built in Conda. More detailed
+information is available at:
+`kim-property installation <https://github.com/openkim/kim-property#installing-kim-property>`_.

+In addition to installing the KIM API, it is also necessary to install the
+library of KIM models (interatomic potentials).
+See `Obtaining KIM Models <http://openkim.org/doc/usage/obtaining-models>`_ to
 learn how to install a pre-build binary of the OpenKIM Repository of Models.
