+## Requirements of installation {{ pytorch_icon }}
+
+If one wants to run the DPA-2 model on LAMMPS, the customized OP library for the Python interface must be installed when [freezing the model](../freeze/freeze.md).
+
+The customized OP library for the Python interface can be installed by setting environment variable {envvar}`DP_ENABLE_PYTORCH` to `1` during installation.
+
+If one runs LAMMPS with MPI, the customized OP library for the C++ interface should be compiled against the same MPI library as the runtime MPI.
+If one runs LAMMPS with MPI and CUDA devices, it is recommended to compile the customized OP library for the C++ interface with a [CUDA-Aware MPI](https://developer.nvidia.com/mpi-solutions-gpus) library and CUDA,
+otherwise the communication between GPU cards falls back to the slower CPU implementation.
+
 ## Data format
 
 DPA-2 supports both the [standard data format](../data/system.md) and the [mixed type data format](../data/system.md#mixed-type).
