Hello Christoph,

just want to setup LPP, but all I got was an error while cloning.

user@VMUbuntu:~$ sudo git clone git@github.com:CFDEMproject/LPP.git $HOME/LPP
Klone nach '/home/user/LPP'...

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

There have been many reports that LPP no longer works reliably on modern environments.
LPP was developed for Python 2 and is based on the older Pizza.py toolkit; as a result, it often runs into compatibility issues and bugs on systems where Python 3 is the default (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04+).
If your goal is converting LIGGGHTS dump files to VTK, I have developed a new program in Python 3:

Highlights

  • Includes an easy-to-use GUI; can also be used as a CLI for batch workflows.
  • Converts not only particle data to VTK, but also force chains.
  • Supports force-chain analysis using the Louvain method for community detection.

Please give it a try and feel free to share feedback or report issues on GitHub.
