HOOMD-blue binaries are available in the glotzerlab-software Docker/Singularity images and in packages on conda-forge
See the glotzerlab-software documentation for instructions to install and use the containers on
supported HPC clusters. Containers that include HOOMD-blue v3.0.0-beta releases have beta
in
their tag name.
HOOMD-blue is available on conda-forge on the linux-64, osx-64, and osx-arm64 platforms.
Install the hoomd
package from the conda-forge channel into a conda environment:
$ conda install -c conda-forge hoomd
Install the v3.0.0-beta release with:
$ conda install -c conda-forge/label/hoomd_dev -c conda-forge hoomd
Recent versions of conda
auto-detect whether your system has a GPU and installs the appropriate
package. Override this and force GPU package installation with:
$ conda install -c conda-forge hoomd=*=*gpu*
Tip
Use miniforge or miniconda instead of the full Anaconda distribution to avoid package conflicts with conda-forge packages.
