LAMMPS is available via Arch's unofficial Arch User repository (AUR).

There are three scripts available, named lammps, lammps-beta and lammps-git.
They respectively package the stable, patch and git releases.

To install, you will need to have the git package installed. You may use
any of the above names in-place of lammps.

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lammps.git :pre
$ cd lammps :pre
$ makepkg -s :pre
# makepkg -i :pre

To update, you may repeat the above, or change into the cloned directory,
and execute the following, after which, if there are any changes, you may
use makepkg as above.

$ git pull :pre

Alternatively, you may use an AUR helper to install these packages.

Note that the AUR provides build-scripts that download the source and
the build the package on your machine.
