USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

DOWNLOAD

Either download an Elegent release (http://www.hepforge.org/downloads/elegent) or checkout the code from git:

	git clone https://github.com/jan-kaspar/elegent.git

BUILD

The build is based on the CMake system (http://www.cmake.org/). While you may use any functionality it supports, the recommended build is as follows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. <options>
make

CMake will automatically search for GSL, HepMC and ROOT installations. If it fails or if you wish to use a given installation, apply the following options:

• -DHEPMC_PREFIX:STRING=<your chosen directory>
• -DROOT_PREFIX:STRING=<your chosen directory>
• -DGSL_CONFIG:STRING=<path to gsl-config>

The program files (executables, library and header files) can be installed by

make install

The installation destination can be set by option

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<your chosen directory>

passed to cmake at configure time.

BUILD TEST

To verify the success of the recommended build, you can do the following:

cd ../test/build
./package_test ../../build

PROGRAM EXECUTION

All executable programs can be run with -h option in oder to get help. Alternatively, you can consult the Wiki pages: http://elegent.hepforge.org/trac/wiki .
