ROOT on MacOS

ROOT on MacOS requires X11 to run interactively. If you have not yet installed X11, install it.

As of ROOT v.3.01.05, MacOS X is officially supported. Consequently, the recent ROOT versions should compile and run out of the box.
So now building "ROOT" is fairly straightforward.
Moreover some official binary distributions for MacOS12 are availabe. If you just want to use ROOT, there is no need for you to compile it.

You can also use my RPM package through APT/RPM as

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install root
$ sudo apt-get clean

Before using ROOT, set up enviromental variables by sourcing a setup script as

$ . /opt/root/6.26.02/bin/thisroot.sh

Now you are ready to use ROOT.
