Building LAMMPS using CMake
LAMMPS recently acquired support for building with CMake thanks to the efforts of Christoph Junghans (LANL) and Richard Berger (Temple U). One of the key strengths of CMake is that it can generate the necessary build system files of your own personal preference. It also enables using common development IDEs such as Eclipse, Visual Studio, QtCreator, Xcode and many more for LAMMPS development.
CMake can both be used as a command-line (CLI) utility cmake or through one of
its GUIs. ccmake is a text-based ui to configure and build CMake projects.
cmake-gui is a graphical frontend for running CMake operations that works on
Linux desktop environments, Windows and MacOS X.
The following is a tutorial-style introduction in using the CMake system. It should give you the necessary foundation to understand how to do the most common tasks, act as a reference and provide examples of typical use cases.

Quick Start for the Impatient
If you want to skip ahead and just run the compilation using cmake, please
find a minimal example below. Together with the options reference below, this
should get you started.
git clone https://github.com/lammps/lammps.git
mkdir lammps/build
cd lammps/build
cmake [-D OPTION_A=VALUE_A -D OPTION_B=VALUE_B ...] ../cmake
make
Building LAMMPS using cmake
Prerequisites
This tutorial assumes you are running in a command-line environment using a shell like Bash.
- Linux: any terminal window will work
- MacOS X: launch the Terminal app
- Windows 10: install and run "Bash on Windows" (aka Ubuntu on Windows)
Before we start, please download the latest and greatest version of LAMMPS from GitHub. You can either download it as a tarball or ZIP file, or via git. When you start with a fresh lammps directory, the contents should look like this:
$ ls
bench doc lib potentials README tools
cmake examples LICENSE python src
Build directory vs. Source Directory
By using CMake we separate building LAMMPS into multiple phases:
- Configuration: define which features we want to enable/disable and how it should be compiled
- Compilation: compile each source file and generate binaries and libraries based on the configuration
- Installation (Optional): finally we can install the generated binaries on our system
In the GNU Make based build system of LAMMPS, configuration occurs by running
special make targets like make yes-MOLECULAR. These targets modify the
source directory (src/) directory by copying package files and patching
Makefile. In some cases you are force to manually edit Makefiles to add compiler
options and/or correct include directory and library paths.
These edits and copy operations are no longer necessary when compiling with CMake. The source directory stays untouched, so you compile LAMMPS in many different variants using the same source code checkout. It enables true out-of-source builds.
When using Cmake, you can compile in any folder outside of the source
directory. Any working directory you choose becomes a so-called build
directory. All configuration files and compilation results are stored in this
folder. We recommend calling it something like build/.
Let's have a look a quick example, where we get the greatest and latest version of LAMMPS from GitHub via git:
git clone https://github.com/lammps/lammps.git
We then create a new build folder and make it our current working directory:
mkdir lammps/build
cd lammps/build
To configure LAMMPS we run cmake inside of this folder. However it requires at
least one argument. cmake needs to read the LAMMPS CMakeLists.txt file to
know what to do. This file is located in the cmake/ subdirectory of the
lammps checkout. To run cmake add the relative or absolute path to the cmake/
directory as first argument.
E.g., if the current working directory is lammps/build you can specify the
relative path to lammps/cmake as follows:
cmake ../cmake
You could also specify the absolute path:
cmake /path/to/my/lammps/folder/cmake
Please note: This does NOT compile the code! Running cmake only configures the next build. It generates the necessary files to compile the code. On Unix/Linux it defaults to generating Makefiles. You can also choose other output formats to generate files for Eclipse, Xcode or Visual Studio which are supported on other platorms.
To compile LAMMPS once the Makefiles are generated, simply type make in the
build directory.
make
Defining and using presets
The CMake build exposes a lot of different options. In the old build system
some of the package selections were possible by using special make target like
make yes-std or make no-lib. Achieving a similar result with cmake requires
specifying all options manually. This can quickly become a very long command
line that is hard to handle. While these could be stored in a simple script
file, there is another way of defining "presets" to compile LAMMPS in a certain
way. Since the cmake build process - contrary to the conventional build system -
includes the compilation of the bundled libraries into the standard build process,
the grouping of those presets is somewhat different.
A preset is a regular CMake script file that can use constructs such as
variables, lists and for-loops to manipulate configuration options and create
an initial cache.
Options must be set with the CACHE and FORCE flag to ensure they are
considered even during a second cmake run.
Such a file can then be passed to cmake via the -C flag. Several examples of
presets can be found in the cmake/presets folder.
# build LAMMPS with all packages enabled which don't use external libraries and enable GPU package
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -C ../cmake/presets/all_on.cmake -C ../cmake/presets/nolib.cmake -D PKG_GPU=on ../cmake

Specifically, energy-conserving DPD (eDPD) that can model non-isothermal processes, many-body DPD (mDPD) for simulating vapor-liquid coexistence, and transport DPD (tDPD) for modeling advection-diffusion-reaction systems. The equations of motion of these DPD extensions are integrated through a modified velocity-Verlet (MVV) algorithm. |
|

By coupling the MD simulation to a colored thermostat, it introduces zero point energy into the system, altering the energy power spectrum and the heat capacity to account for their quantum nature. This is useful when modeling systems at temperatures lower than their classical limits or when temperatures ramp across the classical limits in a simulation. |
|
