How to Install ROOT

It's just expanding a tarball:
# tar -zxvf root_v2.21b7_egcs111.tar.gz -C /opt

This binary package has been built with egcs-1.1x and linked with libstdc++.so.2.9. See this for package building prescription.

Getting Started with ROOT

First thing you should do is go through the README file:
$ less /opt/root/AA_README
Then do
$ export ROOTSYS=/opt/root
$ export PATH=$PATH:$ROOTSYS/bin
You can put them into your .bash_profile or .bashrc. You should also tell the system where to find the ROOT shared libraries:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ROOTSYS/lib
or you can add /opt/root/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and do "ldconfig".

Then you can try out a ROOT interactive session:

$ cd <somewhere>/
$ cp -R $ROOTSYS/tutorials .
$ cd tutorials
$ root
