LIGGGHTS stands for LAMMPS improved for general granular and granular heat transfer simulations.

There are similarities compiling LAMMPS and LIGGGHTS since both applications are related. Do take a look at Compiling LAMMPS-7Dec2015 with OpenMPI and GNU

FFTW, OpenMPI and GNU compilation are not covered here.

Step1: Download Download LIGGGHTS®-PUBLIC Using GIT. For more information see http://www.cfdem.com/system/files/githubaccess_public_1.pdf

# git clone https://github.com/CFDEMproject/LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC.git
# git clone https://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC.git

to get the latest version, open a terminal,

# git pull

Step 2: Configure and Compile LIGGGHTS

# cd LIGGGHTS-PUBLIC/src/MAKE
# vim Makefile.openmpi

In Line 41,42,43 AND  52,53,54 comments the line or leave it blank

#MPI_INC =
#MPI_PATH =
#MPI_LIB =

#FFT_INC =
#FFT_PATH =
#FFT_LIB =

Step 3: Check and Build Packages
Check and Build Standard Package and exclude packages you will not need.

# make package-status
Installed  NO: package COHESIONMODELS
Installed YES: package MOLECULE
Installed YES: package PASCAL
Installed YES: package POEMS
Installed YES: package RIGID
Package.sh: line 7: cd: SURFACEMODELS: No such file or directory
Installed  NO: package SURFACEMODELS
Installed YES: package VORONOI

For example, exclude those you do not need.

# make yes-standard
# make no-asphere
# make no-voronoi
# make no-pascal
# make no-poems

Step 4: Compile LIGGGHTS
Check make options. Go to src

# make openmpi
# make lmp_openmpi

Step 5: Create a /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16 and copy libraries.

# cp -Rv doc /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16
# cp -Rv examples /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16
# cp -Rv python /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16
# cp README /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16
# cp -Rv lib /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16 
# cp lmp_openmpi /usr/local/liggghts-12Jan16/bin

Create a softlinks

# ln -s lmp_openmpi lggghts
