6+ Every LAMMPS release released after January 23th, 2025 contains the
7+ functionalities needed for descriptor calculation with MALA. If you are working
8+ on a high perfomance computing cluster, check if you have a LAMMPS version
9+ installed that may already be used with LAMMPS. Note that in order to use
10+ GPU acceleration, you need access to a GPU version
11+ (i.e., Kokkos enabled version) of LAMMPS. In the following, a brief overview
12+ of how to build LAMMPS is provided. The MALA team recommends to build LAMMPS
13+ with ``cmake ``.
14+ For a full overview of how to build LAMMPS, please refer to
15+ the `official instructions <https://docs.lammps.org/Build.html >`_.
