Installing LAMMPS

==================

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``.
