System requirements
Installing on Ubuntu 24
sudo apt-get install build-essential
install OpenGL
sudo apt install libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt install libglut-dev
sudo apt install libxpm-dev
sudo apt install libxmu-dev
sudo apt search libexpat1-dev
maybe
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
resources
Step -by- Step commands
mkdir geant4.11
cd geant4.11
using git to get version 4.11.2
git clone https://github.com/Geant4/geant4.git
cd geant4
git checkout v11.2.2
mkdir build
cd build
You need data file for the physics interaction processes
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/src/GEANT4/4.11/geant4-install /data/src/GEANT4/4.11/geant4
cmake -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON .
edit CMakeCache.txt and make sure OpenGL is ON
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/src/GEANT4/4.11/geant4-install /data/src/GEANT4/4.11/geant4
make -j8
make install
cd ../geant4-install/
source bin/geant4.sh
examples
You can test your installation by compiling and running the example programs
first try to compile example/novice/N01 located in the directory where you untarred everything (geant4.9.6.p02)
source geant4-install/bin/geant4.csh
cd geant4/examples/basic/B1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .
make -f Makefile
./exampleN01
exampleN02 will allow you to test that you have installed the visual drivers needed to draw paraticle trajectories
creating a copy of an example
cd
mkdir geant4
cd geant4
cp -r geant4.10.02.p02/examples/novice/N02 ./
cd N02
rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake ../
make
Commands used for version 4.9.5
Download the source code to a subdirectory.
I stored it in /Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5.p01
Then I created a build subdirectory
mkdir /Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5-build
From inside the build directory I execute the cmake command using a switch to download the data files and install visulatization
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5-install -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON /Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5.p01
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5-install -DGEANT4_USE_XM=ON GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON /Users/tforest/src/GEASNT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5.p01
Then I install if teh make was succcessfull
make install
Build example N02
To build an example you need to create a build subdirectory under the subdirectory of teh example source code.
cmake -DGeant4_DIR=/Users/tforest/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.5-install ../
make
Building with Qt on my Mac
mkdir geant4.11
cd geant4.11
using git to get version 4.11.2
git clone https://github.com/Geant4/geant4.git
git checkout v11.2.0
A directory called "geant4" should have been created by the git command above
mkdir install build
cd build
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt@5/5.9
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt@5/5.15.12/bin:$PATH
