[Gate-users] GATE Docker container now available !

[Parisa Khateri]

Dear Maxime, dear gate-users,

It's me again.. I would like to know if it is possible to run the Gate container non-interactively. In order to run Gate, first one needs to get into the container using:

docker run -it opengatecollaboration/gate:latest bash

Then environmental variables:

source /root/.bashrc

Then one can run Gate. But what if I want to run Gate directly:

docker run -it opengatecollaboration/gate:latest Gate

I am new to containers.. hopefully my question makes sense :)

Thank you and kind regards,
Parisa

Dear Maxime,

The error was:

Error R__unzip_header: error in header
Info in <TFile::GetStreamerInfoList>: cannot find the StreamerInfo record in file /home/pkhateri/Desktop/rootfile1.root

Anyway, I found that the problem was due to the root version. I installed the new version of ROOT on my computer and it can successfully open the root file that was generated by the new version of Gate & ROOT.

Thank you again and kind regards,
Parisa

Dear Parisa,

which error do you get when trying to open it on your laptop ?

Kind regards,
  Maxime

Dear Maxime,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I tried to open the file with Root v6-08-06 installed on my laptop. But it also failed there. I thought the reason was the difference in the versions. Because the Root version in the container is 6.1/02. Do you think this could be reason?

I pulled the Gate container on an HPC. I cannot install those packages in there.

Kind regards,
Parisa

Dear Parisa,

ROOT needs some packages to be installed on the system if you want to use more than its libraries.
You can install them using this command:
yum -y install libX11-devel libXpm-devel libXft-devel libXext-devel

But keep in mind that the docker container is intended for computing, not for data analysis or visualisation.

Kind regards,
  Maxime Chauvin

Dear Maxime, dear Joao,

I tried to pull it on a HPC using shifter (instead of Docker). Then I ran a simple Gate simulation without an error but when I attempt to run root to open the simulation root file I get this error:

root: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked and found this library doesn't exist in the /cern/root-install/lib/ directory.
Could it be because of an inappropriate installation?

Thank you and kind regards,
Parisa

Dear Maxime,


I followed your instructions and I got my first Gate installation successfully.

This docker approach seems to be very useful.


Thank you very much.

Best regards,

João Marcos
