Environment variables
=====================
To set the needed environment variables, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, use
the following convenience script. For the sh shell family do:
. <pathname>/root/bin/thisroot.sh
and for the csh shell family do:
source <pathname>/root/bin/thisroot.csh
where <pathname> is the location where you unpacked the ROOT distribution.
Typically add these lines to your .profile or .login files.
Running interactive ROOT and the tutorial macros
================================================
To run the example macros, go to the root/tutorials directory and do, e.g.:
$ root
root [0] .x benchmarks.C
-- this will run all tutorials and will benchmark your machine.
-- see http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/benchmarking for the
normalization and comparisons.
root [1] .x demos.C
-- Click on any button you like to run the corresponding tutorial.
-- Move the objects on the canvas around using the mouse.
root [2] .q
Compiling and running ROOT test programs
========================================
To run some ROOT test programs, go to the root/test directory and do
(after having selected the machine dependent flags in the Makefile):
$ make
$ ./Event
$ ./hsimple
$ ./minexam
$ ./tcollex
$ ./tstring
etc...
