This covers basic use of hps-java, without compiling or building anything.

System requirements: Java 1.7

Getting the Software

The instructions at Installing HPS Software should be followed to create a local distribution of the HPS Java software.

Using your own steering file

All instructions given here assume you're using the steering files included with the release. If you write your own, you can point hps-java to it by omitting the "-r" and using the file path of your .lcsim file:

java -jar hps-java.jar -i recon.slcio my_steering_files/MyAnalysis.lcsim -DoutputFile=analysis_plots
