In this paper we employ all-electron time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to calculate the long range dipole-dipole dispersion coefficient (van der Waals coefficient) $C_{6}$ of alkali-metal atoms Li, Na, K, alkali-metal atom dimers Li$_{2}$, Na$_{2}$, K$_{2}$ and sodium clusters containing even number of atoms ranging from 2 to 20 atoms. The dispersion coefficients are obtained via Casimir-Polder expression which relates it to the frequency dependent linear polarizabilty at imaginary frequencies. The frequency dependent polarizabilities are calculated by employing TDDFT--based complete sum-over-states expressions for the atoms, and direct TDDFT linear response theory for the closed shell dimers and clusters.
