ROOT

About ROOT

The ROOT system is a set of C++ object oriented frameworks with all the functionality needed to handle and analyze large amounts of data in a very efficient way. The code is open source, it is developed at CERN, and widely used for data acquisition, analysis, simulations, etc. in nuclear physics and related fields.

MURE code available from RSICC uses the ROOT framework for time-stepping of MCNP calculations.

Running ROOT

First set environmental variable $ROOTSYS to /opt/root/, add search path to the ROOT binaries, and libraries:

export ROOTSYS=/opt/root
export PATH=${PATH}:${ROOTSYS}/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${ROOTSYS}/lib

You can add the above to your ~/.bashrc, so it will get executed any time you log in.

Then run ROOT by: $ root
