OpenMM 7.5 release candidate

Post by Peter Eastman » Wed Dec 02, 2020 6:51 pm

The release candidate of OpenMM 7.5 is finally available! Sorry this took so long. Since the beta was released, we have completely rebuilt our packaging and distribution system from scratch. OpenMM is now distributed through conda-forge. Hopefully this will make things easier to maintain in the future and improve compatibility with other packages.

To install the release candidate, use this command:

Code: Select all

conda install -c conda-forge/label/test -c conda-forge openmm
Another benefit of the new packaging system is that you don't need to worry about what CUDA version you have installed. If you have an NVIDIA driver, conda will automatically detect the version and download a compatible version of OpenMM and, if necessary, a CUDA toolkit. You can still specify a particular CUDA version if you need to for some reason:

Code: Select all

conda install -c conda-forge/label/test -c conda-forge openmm cudatoolkit=10.0
See the beta announcement for a description of some of the new features in this version.

Please try this out and let us know how it works for you. If no serious problems are found, we'll make the official release in about a week.

Peter
