After download extract the archive. 2) 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 /bin to PATH and /lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH: sh family: export PATH=/bin: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib: export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib: (MacOS X only) csh family: setenv PATH /bin: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib: setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /lib: (MacOS X only) 3) Compile ROOT If you have chosen the precompiled version, please continue to read at "Test ROOT" Execute: cd ./configure make 4) Test ROOT Type "root" to start.
