Installation guide to gamma2MC version 1.0 (beta)

The program gamma2MC is written in C++. It is completely self-contained, using only the standard C++ library. It has been tested on RedHat Linux (kernel release 2.6.9-55.ELsmp), and compiled with the g++ and f77 compilers (version 3.4.6).

To install the program gamma2MC:

  1. Download the source file gamma2MC_1.0beta.tar.gz. Unpack it by typing on the command line:
    gunzip gamma2MC_1.0beta.tar.gz
    tar -xvf gamma2MC_1.0beta.tar
  2. Now change directories by typing
    cd gamma2MC_1.0beta
    There are three directories here: "Cincludes", "main", and "PDFs". The directory "main" is the main program directory, where all the action takes place. Go to this directory by
    cd main
  3. Next type on the command line
    make PDFs
    This compiles all subroutines needed for PDFs in the directory "PDFs", as well as utility subroutines in the directory "Cincludes".
  4. Then type on the command line
    make gamma2MC
    This compiles, links, and creates the executable "gamma2MC".
    You're done with the installation!
  5. To run the program, just modify the input file "gamma2MC.indat" (in the directory "main") as desired, then type on the command line
    gamma2MC
    Thats all!
I highly recommend reading the program manual and input-file guide for information on the inputs in the file "gamma2MC.indat".
