ROOT installation

1. descend into the directory in which you have downloaded root:

# cd /usr/local/root-head

2. setup the required environment:

# cd ..
# source root_env.sh root-head
# cd $ROOTSYS

3. configure root with all options needed by fROOT:

# cd $ROOTSYS
# ./root_conf.sh 5

4. compile the code:

# make

5. install the compiled code:

# make install

NOTES:

• all scripts in these instructions are written for 'bash' shell.

• If you need to install the gcc compiler or the CINT interpreter, you find a quick installation guide here.
