Compiling LAMMPS in Windows

This section was contributed by Abdullah Arafat, an apprentice of Dr. Shafat Mubin, and a senior year undergraduate student of Materials Science and Engineering at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) in Bangladesh. He is experienced in molecular modelling and molecular dynamics simulations, with proficiency in Python, LAMMPS, VESTA, and Materials Studio. He is keenly interested in computational physics and materials science and is currently engaged in his undergraduate thesis on the growth kinetics of 2D materials.

In this section, the procedure to build LAMMPS in Windows using CMake is detailed. Before beginning, please make sure to update Windows to its latest version.

First, the source code needs to be downloaded and CMake for Windows needs to be installed. The source code can be downloaded using Git for Windows, as described next.
