1. Supported and Tested Platforms
Official platforms:
- SUN Solaris 5.8, C++ CC-5.5.
- Linux, gcc 3.2.3 or gcc 3.4.5.
This configuration was tested on 32 bits architectures (Intel)
and 64 bits architectures (AMD) with the Scientific Linux CERN 3
(SLC3) distribution (based on RedHat Linux Enterprise 3) and
Scientific Linux CERN 4 (SLC4) distribution (based on RedHat Linux
Enterprise 4).
Versions of Geant4 have also been compiled successfully on other
Linux distributions, like Debian, Suse or other RedHat systems.
- Windows/XP and CygWin Tools with: Visual C++ 7.1 .NET
More verified configurations:
- SUN Solaris 5.8, C++ CC-5.4 Patch 111715-02
- Linux, gcc-4.1.1
- Linux, Intel-icc 9.1
- MacOS 10.4, gcc-4.0.1
- Windows/XP and CygWin Tools with: Visual C++ 8.0 (Visual Studio 2005)
Platforms configured but not tested and not supported:
- AIX 4.3.2, xlC 6.0
- DEC V4.0, cxx C++ V6.1-027
- HP 10.20, aCC C++ B3910B A.01.23
- SGI V6.5.5, CC 7.2.1
2. Disk space
The full installation of Geant4, data files and related libraries require at least 500 MB of disk space.
For Windows OS with VisualC++, 1 GB is the minimum.
3. Alternative
If your laptop does not satisfy the above mentioned requirements, you can still take the tutorial with
your laptop remotely connecting to a Geant4-capable machine at your home institute. Please note that
SLAC will not provide any computing resourse rather than wireless network for tutorial participants.
