Install LAMMPS :h2
You can download LAMMPS as an executable or as source code.
With source code, you also have to "build LAMMPS"_Build.html. But you
have more flexibility as to what features to include or exclude in the
build. If you plan to "modify or extend LAMMPS"_Modify.html, then you
need the source code.
