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

https://geant4-userdoc.web.cern.ch/UsersGuides/InstallationGuide/html/installguide.html#buildandinstall

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

ccmake ../geant

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /full_path_to_your_home/myG4/install GEANT4_BUILD_MULTITHREADED ON GEANT4_INSTALL_DATA ON GEANT4_INSTALL_DATADIR /full_path_to_your_home/myG4/install/data GEANT4_USE_GDML ON GEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11 ON GEANT4_USE_QT ON GEANT4_USE_RAYTRACER_X11 ON
