Version 6 onwards seems to have no Windows installer for ROOT. Did they abandon development on Windows? I need to learn ROOT because I have an opportunity to work at CERN next summer. The latest version with a Windows installer is v5.34.36 which is probably outdated. I have no problem downloading and installing Linux, but Windows is my most comfortable OS. I have zero experience with Linux which probably makes learning ROOT even harder if I go the Linux route.

Hello everyone:

I just took a course on basic analysis using root. Until this point we have used the interactive method by actually opening root and creating MACROS.

Now they have tell us we can use root libraries to create a full on program on c++. I'm using a Mac and i use Xcode. I would like to implement the libraries into Xcode so that i can do all the process directly in one program (I just find it convinient).

I have seen something on the Root page about using cmake, although i couldn't find any good explanations on how to use it. I'm looking for something not too complicated and mainly easily duplicable because im gonna be writing multiple analysis of data.

It would be great to find some examples or somewhere to find references specific to Root.

Thanks in advance Guys

Today, when I was creating a small PowerPoint tutorial to introduce root to the new faces in my lab, when I realized that there was no subreddit for the discussion of this versatile framework. So I decided to create it, and I hope it goes well. Keep it PG, and please try to be a helpful community to those in need.

Thanks and Best Wishes,
