- Anaconda
In this tutorial, we are going to use the common analysis software in High Energy Experiment(HEP) called ROOT. The easiest way to obtain it on a MAC is through anaconda.
Anaconda is a source-code distribution platform that help you download and manages a lot of scientific/data science packages. It helps you to maintain a correct dependency of each package,
You can obtain anaconda here: https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
I would recommend using the python3 version.
- ROOT and Jupyter Notebook
The minimal packages we need are ROOT and jupyter notebook, which can be simply downloaded with:
conda install -c conda-forge root
conda install -c conda-forge notebook
conda install matplotlib
ROOT may have some trouble working with python3. You can create a virtual environment specifying root with python2.7 like this:
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda create --name pyroot root python=2.7
And then you can enter and exit the environment with
conda activate pyroot
conda deactivate pyroot
- Running Jupyter Notebook
in order to run the notebook, execute the following command:
root --notebook <notebook_name>
To run this notebook, execute:
root --notebook 01-Introduction.ipynb
