BUILDING AND INSTALLING LAMMPS PRECOMPILED PACKAGES FOR WINDOWS

The LAMMPS molecular dynamics simulation package is commonly installed,
customized, and compiled by its users from source code, which can be obtained
from its home page as tar archives or from its GitHub project page as snapshot
zip archive or git repository clone.

However, few people using Windows are familiar compiling applications from
source code and have the necessary tools installed. Furthermore Windows
applications are usually bundled with an installer/uninstaller tool to manage
the deployment of the precompiled binaries and associated files or can be
installed from the Microsoft Store.

For quick testing and simple calculations, there is is a package with a LAMMPS
executable and the LAMMPS shell available through the Microsoft Store. This only
consists of a serial executable with OpenMP and OpenCL support, is set up for
use with Windows 10 and does not contain examples, documentation, or potential
files.

The purpose of this webpage is to provide access to fully featured LAMMPS
packages for Windows that have been built by the LAMMPS developers and contain
as complete a set of features as technically meaningful (not all code is ported
to Windows) and legally possible with the restrictions on some of the licenses
for add-on libraries.

The second part of this webpage documents the custom tools and scripts used in
the process of building these packages, so that interested people can go about
and customize it or contribute solutions to known problems or suggest improved,
alternate approaches for the procedures used.

ONLINE HELP FOR THE LAMMPS SHELL APP

This page provides documentation and additional files to download for use with
the LAMMPS Shell. The downloads are especially aimed at users that have
installed LAMMPS on Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store, since those are
lacking those files.

DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, AND USING PRE-COMPILED LAMMPS PACKAGES


INSTALLER PACKAGES FOR 32-BIT AND 64-BIT WINDOWS

These packages are executables containing a Nullsoft scriptable installer for
Windows versions from Windows XP (SP2) to Windows 10 (theoretically, due to
limited time and access currently only Windows 10 is tested). The packages are
available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems, with and without support for
MPI (a link for a compatible MPI library installer is provided) and with and
without support for the PYTHON package (NOTE: the Python module, i.e. the option
to import LAMMPS into Python scripts is always included). These packages also
contain several PDF format files with the LAMMPS manual and associated
documentation, most of the example inputs, bundled potential files, benchmark
input and some tools.

BUILDING WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGES WITH MINGW64 CROSS-COMPILERS ON FEDORA LINUX

This page describes the tools used for and the process of building installer
packages for Windows on Linux with the MinGW64 cross-compiler toolchain as
bundled with Fedora Linux.
