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 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
 cd AliceO2
 mkdir build_o2
 cd build_o2
 cmake ../
 make
 . config.sh [or source config.csh]
