Hi All,
I am a new comer to the LAMMPS community and is installing the soft requirements.
Could anyone tell me which "VirtualBox" could be suitable for the SUSE Linux Enterprise11 SP1 (the OS used for the machine "altix-star3")?
Thanks,
B
Hi All,

VirtualBox is a virtualization software and has as such nothing to do with
LAMMPS.
the normal distribution of LAMMPS is a source code that needs to be
compiled. for that the minimal requirements for a baseline LAMMPS
executable are moderate. essentially, you need a C++ compiler and a regular
unix-like build environment. if you want to run in parallel, you also need
an MPI library.
there are also pre-compiled binaries for x86 for a variety of
distributions. those usually have more features included, and thus may
require additional libraries.
details on how to build and configure LAMMPS are in the manual in the
"Getting Started" section. it is highly recommended to first build a
minimal version and test that before trying to install additional, optional
components, or enable features in the Makefile.
axel.
