Build your own VASP 5
For VASP 5.X.X version, VASP provide several templates of makefile.include
in the /arch
folder, which contain information such as precompiler options, compiler options, and how to link libraries. You can pick up one based on your system and preferred features . Here we provide some examples about how to install the vasp.5.4.4.pl2.tgz
version on Anvil with different module environments. We also prepared two versions of VASP5 installation scripts at the end of this page.
Link to section 'Step 1: Download' of 'Build your own VASP 5' Step 1: Download
As a license holder, you can download the source code of VASP from the VASP Portal, we will not check your license in this case.
Copy the VASP resource file vasp.5.4.4.pl2.tgz
to the desired location, and unzip the file tar zxvf vasp.5.4.4.pl2.tgz
to obtain the folder /path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2
and reveal its content.

For GNU compilers parallelized using OpenMPI, combined with MKL
We modified the
makefile.include.linux_gnu
file to adapt the Anvil system. Download it to your VASP build folder/path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2
:$ cd /path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2 $ wget https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/files/knowledge/compile/src/makefile.include.linux_gnu $ cp makefile.include.linux_gnu makefile.include
If you would like to include the Wannier90 interface, you may also need to include the following lines to the end of your
makefile.include
file:# For the interface to Wannier90 (optional) LLIBS += $(WANNIER90_HOME)/libwannier.a
Load the required modules:
$ module purge $ module load gcc/11.2.0 openmpi/4.1.6 $ module load intel-mkl # If you would like to include the Wannier90 interface, also load the following module: # $ module load wannier90/3.1.0
-
For Intel compilers parallelized using IMPI, combined with MKL
Copy the
makefile.include.linux_intel
templet from the/arch
folder to your VASP build folder/path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2
:$ cd /path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2 $ cp arch/makefile.include.linux_intel makefile.include
For better performance, you may add the following line to the end of your
makefile.include
file (above the GPU section):FFLAGS += -march=core-avx2
If you would like to include the Wannier90 interface, you may also need to include the following lines to the end of your
makefile.include
file (above the GPU section):# For the interface to Wannier90 (optional) LLIBS += $(WANNIER90_HOME)/libwannier.a
Load the required modules:
$ module purge $ module load intel/19.0.5.281 impi/2019.5.281 $ module load intel-mkl # If you would like to include the Wannier90 interface, also load this module: # $ module load wannier90/3.1.0
Link to section 'Step 3: Make' of 'Build your own VASP 5' Step 3: Make
Build VASP with command make all
to install all three executables vasp_std
, vasp_gam
, and vasp_ncl
or use make std
to install only the vasp_std
executable. Use make veryclean
to remove the build folder if you would like to start over the installation process.
Link to section 'Step 4: Test' of 'Build your own VASP 5' Step 4: Test
You can open an Interactive session to test the installed VASP, you may bring your own VASP test files:
$ cd /path/to/vasp-test-folder/
$ module purge
$ module load gcc/11.2.0 openmpi/4.1.6 intel-mkl
# If you included the Wannier90 interface, also load this module:
# $ module load wannier90/3.1.0
$ mpirun /path/to/vasp-build-folder/vasp.5.4.4.pl2/bin/vasp_std
