1. Ready to install package VASP 5.4.4

2. Preparations before VASP installation

Install GNU Compiler

sudo apt-get install make build-essential g++ gfortran

Install required VASP libraries (lapack, scalapack, openmpi, and fftw)

sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev libopenmpi-dev libscalapack-mpi-dev libfftw3-dev

3. VASP installation

extract and patch

Open the folder where the vasp compressed package is located, and follow the four steps

tar -zxvf vasp.5.4.4.tar.gz
gunzip patch.5.4.4.16052018.gz
cd vasp.5.4.4/
patch -p0 < ../patch.5.4.4.16052018

modify file

In the subdirectory, copy the makefile.include.linux_intel in the arch folder to the upper directory and rename it to makefile.include. Open this file and add -xhost to the OFLAG parameter.

The full makefile.include looks like this

Compile, build std, gam and ncl of VASP

Run in the following directory:

make all

make std gam ncl

long running time

modify path

After running, three files appear in the bin folder, among which you can choose to modify vasp_std to vasp, which is not modified here.

Modify the system environment:

vim ~/.bashrc

add path

export PATH="$PATH:/home/xxxx/vasp.5.4.4/bin";

Copy the vasp path, here is: /home/xxxx/vasp.5.4.4/bin

Save .bachrc, and update

source ~/.bashrc

run vasp

Put INCAR, KPOINTS, POSCAR and POTCAR in any folder

Input: Among them, if vasp_std is changed to vasp, vasp_std in the code should be changed to vasp, nohup means that the terminal does not output process information, and 4 is the number of cpu.
