Go to the directory where LAMMPS is installed.

Create a folder and cd into the new build folder.

mkdir newbuildname; cd newbuildname

Configure the new build with packages that you want. In this example, i’m using the GRANULAR package.

cmake ../cmake -D PKG_GRANULAR=yes

The one above configures a new build with the package “GRANULAR”. To add multiple packages, simply add tack on more packages before the build.

cmake ../cmake -D PKG_SRD=yes

Finally, create the build.

cmake --build .

A list of all the packages can be found here.
