3 @ PREAMBLE
4 This text will help you in installation of PamVMC simulator. This document will be
5 updated after next release of tools.
6 Installation was done on a SL5 machine, kernel 2.6.18-348.18.1.el5,
7 gcc version 4.7.0
8 Everything was compiled under ROOT v. 5.34. PAMELA software (9th reduction) was corrected
9 to be compiled (see list of changes below). PAMELA libraries were compiled, but executables,
10 like chewbacca still doesn't work (need to be corrected). Anyway, PamVMC needs only the libraries
11 to get information about the magnetic field. To proceess data, you should have
12 a standard PAMELA SW installaton under previous version of ROOT (5.26). @
13
14 This is a list of tools for the installation:
15 GEANT 4.9.6.p01
16 ROOT v. 5.34
17 VGM v.3.06
18 xerces-c-3.1.1
19 PAMELA 9th reduction software (should be corrected by yourself if any problems)
20
21 In /scripts directory you will find examples of scripts that does an export of
22 ALL enviroment variables for this installation. Please check them with yours.
23
24 1) @install GEANT 4.9.6.p01@ (also includes CHLEP)
25 mkdir cern
26 cd /cern
27 tar -xvf geant4.9.6.p01.tar.gz
28 mkdir geant4.9.6.p01-build
29 mkdir geant4.9.6.p01-install
30 ln -s geant4.9.6.p01-install G4
31 cd geant4.9.6.p01-build
32 export CFLAGS=-m32
33 export CXXFLAGS=-m32
34 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/../geant4.9.6.p01-install/ -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON ../geant4.9.6.p01
35 ccmake ../geant4.9.6.p01
36 @@@ Enable the following flags:
37 - GEANT4_USE_G3TOG4
38 - GEANT4_USE_GDML
39 - GEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11
40 - GEANT4_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT
41 make -j4
42 make install
43 cd geant4.9.6.p01-install
44 ln -s bin/geant4.sh env.sh
45 cd ..
46
47 2) @ installation of ROOT v. 5.34 @
48 @ put root_v5.34.04.source.tar.gz in /cern @
49 cd /cern
50 tar -zxvf root_v5.34.04.source.tar.gz
51 mv root root_v5.34
52 ln -s root_v5.34 root
53 source G4/env.sh
54 export ROOTSYS=$PWD/root
55 ./configure linux --all --enable-builtin-pcre --disable-castor
56 make
57
58 3) @installation of xerces v.3.1.1@
59 tar -xvf xerces-c-3.1.1.tar.gz
60 ./configure --build=i686 --prefix $PWD
61 make
62 make install
63
64 4) @installation of VGM v.3.06@
65 @Note: VGM is needed to convert ROOT-defined geomery in GEANT4. So, you need
66 install VGM only if you plan to use in RunConfiguration of your application
67 an option "geomRootToGeant4" - geometry defined in Root, but GEANT4 navigation.
68 By default, in PamVMC option "geomRoot" was defined because GEANT4 has no
69 option ONLY/MANY, so if I use "geomRootToGeant4" translation could be wrong (WARNING!).
70 But if you wish to do some run-time visualization, like showers, you should use
71 VGM libraries and option "geomRootToGeant4" in PamVMC Run configuration.@
72
73 @ get archive from http://ivana.home.cern.ch/ivana/VGM.html and put in in /cern @
74 cd /cern
75 tar zxf v3-06.tar.gz
76 mkdir vgm.3.06-build
77 mkdir vgm.3.06-install
78 ln -s vgm.3.06-install VGM
79 emacs -nw VGM/config/geant4.gmk
80 @ correct line 23: CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4INCLUDE) on some machines @
81 cd VGM
82 ./autoconf/configure --with-clhep-include=$PWD/../geant4.9.6.p01-install/include/Geant4/ --with-clhep-libdir=$PWD/../geant4.9.6.p01-install/lib/ --with-geant4=/$PWD/../geant4.9.6.p01-install/ --with-xerces=$PWD/../xerces-c-3.1.1/ --with-root=$PWD/../root/
83 make
84
85 5) Installation of PAMELA software
86
87 @ Follow the standard instructions for the installation of PAMELA software
88
89
90 6) Installation of geant4_vmc
91
92 @get source ftp://root.cern.ch/root/vmc/geant4_vmc.2.14a.tar.gz and put in /cern @
93 cd /cern
94 tar -zxvf geant4_vmc.2.14a.tar.gz
95 cd geant4_vmc
96 @edit `root-config --etcdir`/vmc/Makefile.linux and add the -m32 flag to the OPT variable and empty the variable SHLIB@
97 make
98
99 7) Installation of PamVMC
100
101 @Before you start, do an export of PAM_VMC env. variable to the source directory
102 In case if you wish to use PamVMC with GEANT4 you should go to $(PAM_VMC)/PamG4RunConfiguration @
103 make clean
104 make
105 @ this will produce a libPamG4RunConfiguration.so library in $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM) @
106 cd $(PAM_VMC)
107 make
108 @ after this step an application library $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM)/libPamVMC_fc.so will be compiled
109 and some calibration files will be copied from $(PAM_VMC)/aux@
110 @ do an export
111 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM):$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
112
113 @ in $(PAM_VMC)/examples you can find an example of usage @
114 @ For more details please look inside $(PAM_VMC)/include PamVMCPrimaryGenerator.h and PamVMCDetectorHit.h @
115
116
117 @From here on old instructions:
118
119 /////////////EXTERNAL DIGITIZER/////////////////
120 In aux/PamVMVDigitizer you can find a source code of stand-alone digitizer. Just do make.
121 There are only 3 parameters: input root-file name, output raw-filename and integer random seed.
122 If you specify 0, then TRandom3(0) object will be created. All digitizers use this object.
123 Please note, that current version of digidaizer could be not compatible with root-files generated
124 with previous versions of PamVMC due to addtitonal variables in PamVMCDetectorHit class
125
126
127 /////////////SPGECTRA GENERATOR/////////////////
128 @ spectra_generator is a tool which allow you to generate tracks above the apparatus
129 isotropically and save initial kinematic parameters (X0,Y0,Z0=110., P, Theta, Phi)
130 "good" tracks in output root-file. After this, file could be used to do simulations.
131 The condition to accept tracks is satisfaction to 14 acceptance planes, defined by
132 TrkParams in Level2. This tool is based on DoTrack method of Level2.
133 To save data in root-file PrimaryInfo class was developed and compiled in library.
134 If later you wish to develop your own script to work with data stored threre,
135 you need just load libPrimaryInfo.so shared library @
136
137 1) @ To compile library you need change your .rootlogon.C file. One example is provided
138 in directory /aux/spectra_generator. Please check your enviroment variables. All pathes
139 in this file completetly dependent on your enviroment @
140 2) cd /aux/spectra_generator
141 make clean
142 make
143 @ After this you should find a library: libPrimaryInfo.so, and executable: sp_gen @
144
145 @+++SPECTRA GENERATOR HOWTO +++@
146 @ There are 3 different regimes in which sp_gen could work, and application recognize in
147 which way you wish it work by number and type of parameters which you specify to launch it:
148

155 14 acceptance planes. (0. - nominal acceptance)
156 (DOUBLE) Rigidity (GV) of tracks.
157 (STRING) Name of output file (ex. out.root) where you wish to store your
158 "good" tracks.

189 (STRING) Name of INPUT file (ex. input.root) where you stored your
190 TGraphAsymmErrors object with diffrerntial spectra profile.
191 Please note, that application suppose that name of graph is
192 "gflux". Of course, you can define your own. See sp_gen.C, line 170.
193 (STRING) Name of output file (ex. out.root) where you wish to store your
194 "good" tracks.
