Along with other software for LCD research, a common distribution of the SLIC simulator package is available for SLAC NFS users.
From a Unix terminal, open a connection to noric-new and login.
ssh noric-new
Now, switch to the bash shell.
bash
You need to setup the project environment to access the common software distribution.
source /nfs/slac/g/lcd/mc/prj/bin/prj.sh
Now, you should be able to run slic from $PRJ_BIN.
slic arguments
To see available command line options, invoke the help command.
slic --help
There are a number of different ways to run SLIC, including purely
macro or command-line driven.
For instance, here is a command to load the SDJan03 test geometry
and start an interactive terminal.
slic -g $PRJ_DIST/slic/current/examples/sdjan03/SDJan03.lcdd -z -n
Now, in order to have a work area for your SLIC usage, checkout the
package from CVS.
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd
cvs co slic
cd slic
Within this directory, you will be able to write LCIO files.
If you need access to SLAC NFS, contact unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu.
