GROMACS version: 2023.3
GROMACS modification: Yes/No
Here post your question
Hello guys . I have tried installing Gromacs but it’s taking too long . It’s getting installed for three days and not yet installed . I don’t know what to do .
The process i did was

First step : installing Ubuntu

Second step : 1. Get and unpack the latest version of the GROMACS tarball.
2. Make a separate build directory and change to it.
3. Run cmake with the path to the source as an argument
4. Run make, make check, and make install
5. Source GMXRC to get access to GROMACS
I followed the above step which was there in official website . I’m still in running the make step . It’s still 47% for past two days 😵‍💫. I have to do my project and i have only 3 days left . Can anyone please help me with this

Hi!
Compiling GROMACS should definitely not take this long! It looks like you’re using an Ubuntu Virtual Machine on your Windows system? These can have really bad performance if not set up properly, so my guess is that the VM is the culprit. Can you check that you have allocated enough resources to your VM (e.g. RAM, disk space and make sure the processor can be fully shared between the host system and the VM)?
