# 8. Howto discussions

These doc pages describe how to perform various tasks with LAMMPS, both for users and developers. The glossary website page also lists MD terminology, with links to corresponding LAMMPS manual pages. The example input scripts included in the `examples` directory of the LAMMPS source code distribution and highlighted on the Example scripts page also show how to set up and run various kinds of simulations.
