[Gate-users] How can make "Gate" command available indifferentdirectories

[Simon Stute]

Hi,

The gate_env.(c)sh files are totally directory independent, you can source
its from any directory, the result is the same (and this environment file
automatically source the env.(c)sh of the geant4 libraries if you correctly
set the G4INSTALL environment variable before as it is mentioned in the gate
installation recommendations (fix it in your bashrc ou cshrc file for
example, as for the GATEHOME and G4VERSION variables)).
Then the $GATEHOME environment variable MUST be the absolute path of the
gate source directory, not a relative path... and not $PWD
And then if you want to launch the Gate application, just add the path
$GATEHOME/bin/G4SYSTEM in your $PATH environment variable (that is global)
(you must adapt the G4SYSTEM variable to your own) (and fix it in your
bashrc or cshrc file too).
If those 3 items are correctly done you will be able to launch Gate in any
directory just by typing 'Gate', as for any other application under unix
systems.

(and sourcing your environment file do not create your Gate binary file or
your 'Gate command', it has been created during the compilation and will not
disappear...)

Hope this helps !
Simon
