What you were trying to do (and why)

I am trying to install lammps using $brew install lammps$ on my M1 Macos (Big Sur 11.1) in order to run molecular dynamics simulations.

What happened (include command output)

Everytime i run $brew doctor$, it shows ready to use, but $brew install lammps$ always fails and shows the following error message:

Error: lammps: no bottle available! You can try to install from source with: brew install --build-from-source lammps Please note building from source is unsupported. You will encounter build failures with some formulae. If you experience any issues please create pull requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other official channels.

Hi, thanks. But $brew install --build-from-source lammps$ also fails and shows:

_CMake Error at completions/cmake_install.cmake:49 (file): file cannot create directory: /etc/opt/homebrew/Cellar/kim-api/2.2.1/bash_completion.d. Maybe need administrative privileges. Call Stack (most recent call first): cmakeinstall.cmake:87 (include) make: *** [install] Error 1

COuld you please help in this regard? Thank you.

Then it's clearly not compatible with arm yet. You'll have to report this to the developers instead.

To repair building lammps from source on the M1 edit its formula: $brew edit kim-api: Add the line args << "-DBASH_COMPLETION_COMPLETIONSDIR=#{bash_completion}" after the line args << "-DZSH_COMPLETION_COMPLETIONSDIR=#{zsh_completion}" and run $brew install --build-from-source lammps

Hi, many thanks. Could you please explain a bit more? I am complete new to command line/terminal, so can't really understand how I should execute your instructions. Specially, how and where I should add the line that you suggested? Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry, there was a mistake in my previous message. You need to edit kim-api's formula, not lammps's. Run in the terminal brew edit kim-api This command opens lammps's formula in the default editor (in my case it will be vim). Find the line args << "-DZSH_COMPLETION_COMPLETIONSDIR=#{zsh_completion}" and put the cursor on it. If your editor is also vim press 'o' button (lowercase 'o') and paste the line args << "-DBASH_COMPLETION_COMPLETIONSDIR=#{bash_completion}" below. Press 'ESC', then immediately ':wq' and 'Enter' to save the formula.

Now you should be able to run brew install --build-from-source lammps without errors.
