I’ve basic competency in python, physics, surface science and numerical simulation but for some reason I am permanently lost when it comes to command windows and operating systems. I’ve downloaded and installed LAMMPS on macOS 10.15 via conda using instructions at 2.4. Download an executable for Linux or Mac via Conda — LAMMPS documentation and installed the openkim-models and I’m at the “okay, now what?” stage.
I understand that there should be many examples – somewhere – and by running them and looking at their scripts I should be able to bootstrap myself up to making a graphene flake find an equilibrium configuration on a metal fcc(111) surface, but right now I just have a command window looking at me silently asking “okay, what next?”
How do I find, run, and then examine examples?
For a Windows installation this video LAMMPS Tutorial #1: Getting Started for Absolute Beginners - YouTube shows an examples folder, but so far the only LAMMPS folders I can find by poking around are in /Users/Davido/anaconda3/pkgs/lammps-2021.09.29-py310h121345e_openmpi_3 and I’m not seeing many “examples” there, except a few as shown in the following screenshot:
