Common software for all FCC experiments. This software is based on Gaudi.

In this section, you will first find a description of our github organization and workflow. Then, you will find instructions for setting up your github account, and taking part in this workflow.

• The FCC github organization is responsible for software integration. It owns the "main" copies of the FCC software repositories on github:

  • FCCSW : core software shared by hh, ee, and he
  • FCCSW-hh : software specific to the hh configuration
  • FCCSW-ee : to be created
  • FCCSW-eh : to be created

• Individual github users do not directly push their code to the FCC repositories. Instead, they make ("fork") their own copy of the FCC repositories on github. Then, they:

  • develop and commit on their local machine
  • push their code to their copy of the FCC repositories on github
  • send pull requests to the FCC organization. The FCC organization administrators are then free to pull the code from the user repositories or not, thus taking the responsibility of the software integrity for the organization.

1. create a github account if you don't have one.
2. go to https://github.com/HEP-FCC/FCCSW and click "Fork" at the top right of the page. You are directed to your newly forked copy of the FCCSW repository
3. in the instructions below, replace <username> by your github username

Log in to lxplus SLC6. Please note that these instructions might not work on another SLC6 machine. Instructions to compile on a mac are in preparation.

Prepare a global software zone for FCC:

mkdir FCC
cd FCC
export FCCBASE=$PWD

Clone the Gaudi repository:

git clone -b dev/hive  http://cern.ch/gaudi/GaudiMC.git GAUDI/GAUDI_v25r2
export GAUDI=$FCCBASE/GAUDI/GAUDI_v25r2

Clone the FCCSW repository: replace <username> by your github username

git clone [email protected]:<username>/FCCSW.git FCCSW 
export FCCSW=$FCCBASE/FCCSW

Set up your environment:

cd $FCCSW
source init.sh

Compile Gaudi (it will take a bit of time, but you won't do this often):

cd $GAUDI
make -j 12 
make install  # _do not forget to install_

Compile the FCC software:

cd $FCCSW
make -j 12

cp ~hegner/public/example_MyPythia.dat .
./run gaudirun.py example_options.py

You should see an HepMC printout.
