AliceO2

Alice O2 project software. Simulation and reconstraction software for Alice experiment at CERN base on ALFA and FairRoot software.

Step by Step installation

1. Install FairSoft/AlFa

   we use here "alfa_src" as a directory name, you can change it to what ever you like

   
   git clone  https://github.com/FairRootGroup/FairSoft.git  alfa_src
   cd  alfa_src
   ./alfaconfig.sh
   # 1) gcc (on Linux) 5) Clang (on OSX)
   # 1) No Debug Info
   # 2) Internet (install G4 files from internet)
   # path: ~/AlFa
   

   To run the tests do:

   cd alfa_src/FairRoot/build_for_alfa/
   make test
   

2. Set several required shell variables, needed during the installation and running of the different software packages. Put these in your shell's rc file (~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc). For bash:

   export SIMPATH=~/AlFa
   export FAIRROOTPATH=$SIMPATH/FairRoot
   

   or for the csh:

   setenv SIMPATH ~/AlFa
   setenv FAIRROOTPATH $SIMPATH/FairRoot
   

3. Install the [AliceO2] (https://github.com/AliceO2Group/AliceO2) software

   git clone  https://github.com/AliceO2Group/AliceO2.git
   mkdir build_o2
   cd build_o2
   cmake ../
   make 
   . config.sh    [or source config.csh]
