For the ROOT/PROOF tutorial, you can either install ROOT to your laptop (under linux) *or* connect from your laptop to one of the virtual machines provided by the organizers. If you have only a windows machine, you need to have an SSH client and a X windows server installed.
If you decide to install ROOT to your laptop, choose version 5.26/00. |
| Instructions: |
- Download
Please download ROOT 5.26/00 from http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/production-version-526
You can choose between several precompiled versions for different platforms and flavors of linux or the source code. After download extract the archive.
- Setting up the enviroment:
Please export the environment variable ROOTSYS to the directory to which you have extracted the files
sh family:
export ROOTSYS=
csh family:
setenv ROOTSYS
Add $ROOTSYS/bin to PATH and $ROOTSYS/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
sh family:
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (MacOS X only)
csh family:
setenv PATH ${ROOTSYS}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ROOTSYS}/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH} (MacOS X only)
- Compile ROOT
If you have chosen the precompiled version, please continue to read at "Test ROOT"
Execute:
cd $ROOTSYS
./configure
make
- Test ROOT
Type "root" to start. You should get a welcome screen that says version 5.26/00 and the ROOT prompt. You can quit with ".q". If you like to get familiar with the system, try some of the tutorials:
