20- Which software you need to compile and use LAMMPS strongly depends on
21- which :doc: `features and settings <Build_settings >` and which
22- :doc: `optional packages <Packages_list >` you are trying to include.
23- Common to all is that you need a C++ and C compiler, where the C++
24- compiler has to support at least the C++11 standard (note that some
25- compilers require command-line flag to activate C++11 support).
26- Furthermore, if you are building with CMake, you need at least CMake
27- version 3.20 and a compatible build tool (make or ninja-build); if you
28- are building the the legacy GNU make based build system you need GNU
29- make (other make variants are not going to work since the build system
30- uses features unique to GNU make) and a Unix-like build environment with
31- a Bourne shell, and shell tools like "sed", "grep", "touch", "test",
32- "tr", "cp", "mv", "rm", "ln", "diff" and so on. Parts of LAMMPS
33- interface with or use Python version 3.6 or later.

35- The LAMMPS developers aim to keep LAMMPS very portable and usable -
36- at least in parts - on most operating systems commonly used for
37- running MD simulations. Please see the :doc: `section on portablility
38- <Intro_portability>` for more details.
