Getting Started

Installation

The PPS-Sim program is distributed as source code tar-file (Download section).

You have to unpack this file on a place of your choice

  tar xzf ~/Downloads/pps-sim.tgz
  cd pps-sim/

Basic documentation is available in the subdirectory doc/.

Before starting the installation procedure, make sure you have ROOT and Geant4 environment setup corectly. This is usually achieved using a command similar to

  source /usr/local/geant4.9.2/env.sh 
  source /usr/local/root-5.22/bin/thisroot.sh
  unset G4ANALYSIS_USE 

Finally, you can start the compilation using GNU make.

  make -j2 

Program start

Now you are ready to launch the PPS-Sim application, via

  pps-sim

Or, if your path variable is not set correctly via

  $G4WORKDIR/bin/$G4SYSTEM/pps-sim

More information will be available shortly.
