Download an executable for Linux or Mac via Conda
-------------------------------------------------
Binaries are available for MacOS or Linux via `Conda <conda_>`_.
First, one must setup the Conda package manager on your system. Follow the
instructions to install `Miniconda <mini_conda_install_>`_, then create a conda
environment (named `my-lammps-env` or whatever you prefer) for your LAMMPS
install:
.. code-block:: bash
% conda config --add channels conda-forge
% conda create -n my-lammps-env
Then, you can install LAMMPS on your system with the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
% conda activate my-lammps-env
% conda install lammps
The LAMMPS binary is built with the :ref:`KIM package <kim>` which
results in Conda also installing the `kim-api` binaries when LAMMPS is
installed. In order to use potentials from `openkim.org <openkim_>`_, you can
install the `openkim-models` package
.. code-block:: bash
% conda install openkim-models
If you have problems with the installation you can post issues to
`this link <conda_forge_lammps_>`_.
Thanks to Jan Janssen (Max-Planck-Institut fuer Eisenforschung) for setting
up the Conda capability.

If you have questions about these pre-compiled LAMMPS executables,
you need to contact the people preparing those packages. The LAMMPS
developers have no control over their choices of how they configure
and build their packages and when they update them.
