ROOT training for STAR/EIC workshop

This is a self-contained tutorial for STAR/EIC workshop aimed at learning some ROOT basics

---

I like to run it on my own system:

• Git clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/aprozo/root_workshop

• One needs to install ROOT

• Then install some additional packages with

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install -y git python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade wheel jupyter metakernel dask distributed pyspark

• After it run

root --notebook

Part of the material has been reused from:

• https://github.com/root-project/training
• https://github.com/root-project/software-carpentry

If facing a problem with ROOT kernel ROOT C++ kernel, one has to run it in terminal

mkdir -p  ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels
cp -r $ROOTSYS/etc/notebook/kernels/root ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels
jupyter notebook --allow-root

Then, wait untill the page is reloaded and choose Jupyter Kernel -> ROOT
