Installation
Prerequisites
VLMP can generate the simulations input without the need for any external dependencies. However, if you want to run the simulations, you will need to install UAMMD-structured, which will handle the execution of simulations. You can find the installation instructions for UAMMD-structured in its official documentation:
UAMMD-structured Documentation
Installing VLMP
There are multiple ways to install VLMP. The easiest method is through Python’s package manager, pip:
pip install pyVLMP
Alternatively, you can clone the repository directly from GitHub:
After cloning, navigate to the repository directory and run:
pip install .
This will install all the additional required packages.
Verifying Installation
To verify that the installation was successful, import the VLMP library in a Python interpreter:
import VLMP
This will trigger VLMP to perform an internal check. Note that if some modules fail to load due to missing specific libraries, error messages will be displayed. These errors won’t generally impact VLMP’s overall functionality; only the unavailable components will be affected.
