[gmx-users] Installing gmx_mpi

I see the typical installation now:

What I understand , I hope right, is to cd to the gromacs-2018/build where
I started initially the installation of normal gmx, and invoke below; (or I
have to create a new build directory for a new isntallation?)

~> /gromacs-2018/build
~> cmake .. -DGMX_MPI=on
~> make
~> make check
~> sudo make install
~> source /usr/loca/gromacs/bin/GMXRC

Probably I need to give another path (like* ~> cmake .. -DGMX_MPI=on
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/new/directory*) so that the GMXRC of old
normal gmx would not be overwritten by the GMXRC of the gmx_mpi !

Would you please confirm me?

Thanks,

Regards,
Alex
