HomeBrew Package Installer

GEMC recommends using "brew" as the package install for Mac now

http://brew.sh

Install mysql

brew install mysql

Mac OS X 10.7

Install Xcode 4

port nor fink will work until Xcode is installed.

Search for it in the App store and download the free version

ports and fink work from different directories and can coexist

Install command line tools for Lion

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action#

Installed Java Developer package

install ports

http://www.macports.org/

get the installer.

install Fink

after installing Xcode and the command line tools you can do

/sw/bin/fink selfupdate-rsync

then update all packages with

/sw/bin/fink update-all

Install ROOT

cmake ~/src/ROOT/v5-34-03/build

MaC OS X 10.5.8

Most of the commands below require that you either be a superuser (su) or have superuser priviledges (sudo)

Xcode

First download Xcode from apple

http://developer.apple.com/TOOLS/xcode/

Download command line tools (choose "Preferences" from within the Xcode application, then select the "Downloads" icon and you will see the "Command Line Tools" listed in the components list).

MacPorts

http://www.macports.org/

installed in /opt/local/bin

do the command

port -d selfupdate

to update ports

some commands

to search for packages use

sudo port search string

to install a package you found do

sudo port install packagename

Installing older port versions

MacPorts is my preferred way of installing, managing, and upgrading much of the software I have on my Mac. I’m setting up a new work machine today and I need to install ruby 1.8.5 on my machine for Rails to be happy. Unfortunately, you can’t do something simple like specifying the version of the port you want to install unless it’s in a local repository. Fortunately, my friend Stephen Chu had this problem about a year ago and has a nice procedure on how to do it. I’m going to update it for MacPorts and ruby 1.8.5 here.

1) Find out the svn revision number of the Portfile that has 1.8.5 by looking at: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/lang/ruby/Portfile In my case it is 21127.

2) Set up a local port repository. In the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf, add this line before the rsync line: file:///Users/Shared/dports and create that directory.

3) Install the port into your local repository. cd /Users/Shared/dports && svn co --revision 21127 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/ruby/ lang/ruby/

4) Run portindex so that ports now finds your new (old) version of ruby. portindex /Users/Shared/dports

5) Now you should be able to see ruby @1.8.5-p12 in addition to @1.8.6 by running: port list

6) Install Ruby sudo port install ruby @1.8.5-p12 You should be up and running now, so to check, run: ruby -v You will see something like this: ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i686-darwin8.10.1]

GEANT4

Installing geant 4.9.2 p01

Get CLHEP 2.0.4.2

http://proj-clhep.web.cern.ch/proj-clhep/DISTRIBUTION/

after downloading to a good place "be sure to set the prefix path to where you want to find the CLHEP libraries"

tar -zxvf clhep-2.0.4.2.tgz 
cd 2.0.4.2/CLHEP
./configure  --prefix=/users/tforest/src/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.4.2/
make

The above prefix will put the CLHEP libraries under the subdirectory /users/tforest/src/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.4.2/

the source code is under the subdirectory /users/tforest/src/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.4.2/CLHEP

when asked in the GEANT4 configure script below for the CLHEP_BASE_DIR subdirectory youwill enter /users/tforest/src/GEANT4/CLHEP/2.0.4.2/

unpack data libraries

create a "data" subdirectory under your geant4 directory and untar all the data "tar files

tar -xvf G4NDL.3.13.tar
tar -xvf G4EMLOW.6.2.tar
tar -xvf G4RadioactiveDecay.3.2.tar 
tar -xvf G4ABLA.3.0.tar
tar -xvf PhotonEvaporation2.0.tar

Configure -build (without visualization)

download the geatn 4 distribtuion and untar it

then enter the directory and type

./Configure -build

Lets first build the distribution without any graphics to be sure the bare bones are working

then type

./Configure install

to create the env.csh file which will set up your environmental variables

enter "csh"

I can set things up so that your shell scripts and binaries are more portable,
at what may be a noticable cost in performance.  In particular, if you
ask to be portable, the following happens:

     1) Shell scripts will rely on the PATH variable rather than using
        the paths derived above.
     2) ~username interpretations will be done at run time rather than
        by Configure.

Do you expect to run these scripts and binaries on multiple machines? [n]

Fink

Fink is a Unix software package program which will install unix programs on the Mac in the /sw root directory instead of /usr or /bin.

Installing Fink

http://www.finkproject.org/

You need to download an Image file for a binary installation

self update

On 12/6/12 I attempted do update Fink using the command

/sw/bin/fink selfupdate-rsync

Fink should be installing everything under "/sw" and not bother "macports" which is using /local.

I then did the following

Run "/sw/lib/fink/postinstall.pl" in a terminal--this will redirect Fink to the correct distribution for your OS version.

Run "/sw/bin/fink scanpackages" in the terminal (Source->scanpackages for Fink Commander users).

Run "sudo /sw/bin/apt-get update" in the terminal (Binary->update).

(The above two commands get rid of binary-distribution related errors.)

Run "/sw/bin/fink selfupdate" in the terminal (Source->selfupdate).

Run "/sw/bin/fink update-all" in the terminal window (Source->update-all).

GEANT3

Fink will recompile and install GEANT 3 using the command

/sw/bin/fink install cernlib2005

Installing GEMC using Fink

The new location of the GEMC software is

https://gemc.jlab.org/gemc/
