Installation
Installation for
Linux:
Installation under
GNU/Linux PC requires X11, g++, g77 compilers and zip/unzip. To
compile the package, you need first to install:
- ROOT
C++ package;
-
CERNLIB
library;
- CLHEP
class library;
-
JAVA (JRE) virtual machine. Usually, it should be already installed.
(check "java -version":
you should see the version of java VM installed).
The program can run only with the version 1.5 and above (not JRE 1.4.X!).
If it is not installed, download it from
SUN Web page
-
You will need about 300M of the disk space. You do not need
root permission to install RunMC. The RunMC package should always be installed
in the user home directory.
-
Then download the current
version of the
RUNMC (version 4.1)
This file also includes RMC modules.
If you do not have CLHEP and ROOT installed, you should follow to
this installation procedure.
Below I describe only the procedure assuming that CLHEP and ROOT libraries are already
installed.
How to compile the RunMC package:
- tar -zvxf runmc-[version].tar.gz, where [version] specifies the
current version (4.1 etc);
- cd RunMCv[version]/build i.e. go to the directory containing the
package's source code, and edit "install.sh" file:
(a)
specify the location of the CERNLIB fortran library (default is
CERN_DIR = /cern/pro/lib);
(b) specify the location of the CLHEP library, library itself and the
include files;
(default is CLHEP_DIR= /cern/CLHEP/lib and CLHEPINC= /cern/CLHEP/include );
-
Add RUNMC enviromental variable and set to the location
of the directory RunMCv[version], i.e. RUNMC= <path>/RunMCv[version].
Then add $RUNMC/bin to the Linux enviromental variable
PATH
This
can be done in .bashrc file:
sh
family:
export
RUNMC=<path>/RunMCv[version]
export PATH=$RUNMC/bin:$PATH
csh
family:
setenv RUNMC <path>/RunMCv[version]
setenv PATH ${RUNMC}/bin:${PATH}
rehash
(replace
<path> by the location of RunMCv[version])
Type “echo
$RUNMC”, to be sure that you set this variable properly.
You should see the following directories: “bin”, “build”, “proj”, “main”,
“doc”.
It is also useful to check your ROOT installation. Do “cd
$ROOTSYS/test” and type “make”. If the ROOT is
correctly installed, all examples should be compiled without
problems.
Then, go to
$RUNMC/build and type "./install.sh" to compile the
package. After first compilation, next compilations should take
significantly less time
You
can remove the program binaries and object files from the source
code directory by typing "make cleanall'. To remove only object
files, do "make clean";
To remove Monte-Carlo-related files, type
"make cleanmc"
Go to the
$RUNMC/proj directory and type "runmc" to start the
graphical user interface (JRunMC), i.e. just type "runmc"
(or "jrunmc")
In case of installation problems
This could happen if the static CLHEP library (extention *.a) or
ROOT libraries are not properly installed
1) Test ROOT installation as : cd $RUNMC/build/test; ./check_root.sh
2) Test CLHEP installation as : cd $RUNMC/build/test; ./check_clhep.sh
In case of error messages, reinstall these libraries.
Note that I cannot provide the support in case of ROOT/CLHEP problems, so please study
the original web pages of
ROOT
and
CLHEP
class library;
