Alice O2 project software. Simulation and reconstraction software for the ALICE experiment at CERN based on ALFA and the FairRoot software.

1. Install FairSoft/AlFa

   we use here "alfa_src" as a directory name, you can change it to what ever you like

    git clone  https://github.com/FairRootGroup/FairSoft.git  alfa_src
    cd  alfa_src
    ./alfaconfig.sh
    # 1) gcc (on Linux) 5) Clang (on OSX)
    # 1) No Debug Info
    # 2) Internet (install G4 files from internet)
    # path: ~/AlFa
   

   To run the tests do:

    cd alfa_src/FairRoot/build_for_alfa/
    make test
   

2. Set several required shell variables, needed during the installation and running of the different software packages. Put these in your shell's rc file (~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc). For bash:

    export SIMPATH=~/AlFa
    export FAIRROOTPATH=$SIMPATH/FairRoot
   

   or for csh:

    setenv SIMPATH ~/AlFa
    setenv FAIRROOTPATH $SIMPATH/FairRoot
   

3. Install the [AliceO2] (https://github.com/AliceO2Group/AliceO2) software

    git clone  https://github.com/AliceO2Group/AliceO2.git
    cd AliceO2
    mkdir build_o2
    cd build_o2
    cmake ../
    make
    . config.sh [or source config.csh]
