Getting Started on Mac

These instructions describe how to clone the source code on OSX and build it

Prerequisites

• An installation of git. To install on OSX, bring up a terminal window

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew doctor
brew install git

• An installation of dotnet core 3.1 runtime for MacOS (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1)
• An installation of powershell, on OSX the commands are:

brew cask install powershell
pwsh

Getting the source code

Clone the source code from GitHub using the command:

git clone https://github.com/VirtualPhotonics/vts.git

This will create a directory "vts" in your current directory.

Building the Code

• Using powershell:

cd vts
pwsh
./BuildTestRelease.ps1
exit

To execute any application, e.g. Monte Carlo CommandLine (MCCL):

cd src/Vts.MonteCarlo.CommandLineApplication/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1

To generate sample infiles for MCCL

dotnet mc.dll geninfiles

To run MCCL with sample infile

dotnet mc.dll infile=infile_one_layer_all_detectors.txt
