Geant4 Install and Grasshopper Tool






Geant4 is not the easiest particle physics simulation toolkit to install. I recently spent a while trying to figure how to bring this program onto my laptop computer. I will need to write up a more detailed explanation at some point but this is just to explain my happiness at learning some more about makefiles, UNIX, and various debian repository libraries. My undergraduate thesis will involve improving a front-end for Geant4 so that anyone with knowledge of GDML (type of XML) can run small scale physics simulations.
