+LAMMPS is available via Arch's unofficial Arch User repository (AUR).
+
+There are three scripts available, named lammps, lammps-beta and lammps-git.
+They respectively package the stable, patch and git releases.
+
+To install, you will need to have the git package installed. You may use
+any of the above names in-place of lammps.
+
+$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lammps.git :pre
+$ cd lammps :pre
+$ makepkg -s :pre
+# makepkg -i :pre
+
+To update, you may repeat the above, or change into the cloned directory,
+and execute the following, after which, if there are any changes, you may
+use makepkg as above.
+
+$ git pull :pre
+
+Alternatively, you may use an AUR helper to install these packages.
+
+Note that the AUR provides build-scripts that download the source and
+the build the package on your machine.
