Download source and documentation as a tarball
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can download a current LAMMPS tarball from the `download page <download_>`_
|
|
of the `LAMMPS website <lws_>`_ or from GitHub (see below).
|
|
|
|
.. _download: https://www.lammps.org/download.html
|
|
.. _bug: https://www.lammps.org/bug.html
|
|
.. _older: https://download.lammps.org/tars/
|
|
.. _lws: https://www.lammps.org
|
|
|
|
You have two choices of tarballs, either the most recent stable release
|
|
or the most recent feature release. Stable releases occur a few times
|
|
per year, and undergo more testing before release. Also, between stable
|
|
releases bug fixes from the feature releases are back-ported and the
|
|
tarball occasionally updated. Feature releases occur every 4 to 8
|
|
weeks. The new contents in all feature releases are listed on the `bug
|
|
and feature page <bug_>`_ of the LAMMPS homepage.
|
|
|
|
Tarballs of older LAMMPS versions can also be downloaded from `this page
|
|
<older_>`_.
|
|
|
|
Tarballs downloaded from the LAMMPS homepage include the pre-translated
|
|
LAMMPS documentation (HTML and PDF files) corresponding to that version.
|
|
|
|
Once you have a tarball, uncompress and untar it with the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
tar -xzvf lammps*.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
This will create a LAMMPS directory with the version date in its name,
|
|
e.g. ``lammps-28Mar23``.
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
You can also download a compressed tar or zip archives from the
|
|
"Assets" sections of the `LAMMPS GitHub releases site <git_>`_.
|
|
The file name will be lammps-<version>.zip which can be unzipped
|
|
with the following command, to create a lammps-<version> directory:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
unzip lammps*.zip
|
|
|
|
This version corresponds to the selected LAMMPS feature or stable
|
|
release (as indicated by the matching git tag) and will only contain the
|
|
source code and no pre-built documentation.
