Created page with "To test that your version of Geant4 has been successfully installed we will build and run the basic>B1 example included with the Geant4 install. 1. Create the file “B1-build..."

New page

To test that your version of Geant4 has been successfully installed we will build and run the basic>B1 example included with the Geant4 install.

1. Create the file “B1-build” on your desktop (I would advise placing any build files / other examples you work on in a separate folder to the Geant4-install so that if you wish to update your version of Geant your work is not accidentally deleted)

2. Now change your present working directory to
/home/your_name/Desktop/B1-build
by typing the command
cd /home/your_name/Desktop/B1-build

4. To build your project type the following command into the terminal
cmake -DGeant4_DIR=/home/your_name/Desktop/Geant4-install/lib64/Geant4-10.0.0 SPACE /home/your_name/Desktop/Geant4-install/share/Geant4.10.0.1/examples/basic/B1

SPACE should obviously be replaced with a space bar (do not type the word SPACE)

5. Now type the command
make
Into the command terminal

6. to run your example, type the following command into the terminal
source /home/your_name/Desktop/geant4-install/bin/geant4.sh
This command tells the terminal where all the data files that are required to running and building your simulation are.

7. Finally, to open your simulation type the command
./exampleB1
Into the terminal

To run the simulation type the following commands into the terminal:
Idle> /control/verbose 2
Idle> /tracking/verbose 1
Idle> /run/beamOn 10

In order to understand what these commands mean, and how to run simulations in general using Geant4, please use the official Geant4 manual from CERN @:
