Installation ^new^ | Vasp 5.4.4

From the root directory ( vasp.5.4.4 ), run the make command. This will compile the standard, gamma-only, and non-collinear versions automatically.

You can compile VASP using either the Intel toolchain (recommended for optimal performance on Intel hardware) or the GNU toolchain (open-source alternative).

Add to ~/.bashrc for convenience.

If you are using the newer Intel OneAPI , you may need to update the compiler commands from ifort to ifx (though ifort still works in most 2024/2025 environments). 5. The Compilation Process vasp 5.4.4 installation

: Copy arch/makefile.include.linux_intel_cuda and set your CUDA_ROOT path. Troubleshooting Common Errors

Before installing, ensure your Linux environment has the following installed:

Upon successful completion, the compiled binaries will be generated inside the bin/ directory ( bin/vasp_std , bin/vasp_gam , bin/vasp_ncl ). 6. Post-Installation Steps From the root directory ( vasp

To speed up the compilation process on multi-core systems, use the parallel make flag (e.g., make -j4 all ).

VASP 5.4.4 simplifies compilation by utilizing a centralized architecture. You must select a template file from the arch/ directory and copy it to the root directory as makefile.include . 1. Selecting the Template

Or, with an example SLURM submission script: Add to ~/

VASP 5.4.4 uses a makefile.include file to determine compiler flags and library paths. Do not modify the Makefile itself. Instead, copy a template from arch to the root directory.

This usually means your INCLUDE path in the makefile isn't pointing to the MKL include folder. Double-check your MKLROOT .

Navigate to the arch directory to find the makefile templates. Copy the template that best matches your architecture to the root directory.
