Anaconda and PyROOT installation HELP

Newbie

I followed the tutorial video recording of Software Carpentry (virtual) held from JUL 13-15 2022 for the linux ubuntu system to install anaconda and ROOT on my linux system, however I am unable to see the TBrowser window. Also I haven’t installed or downloaded any cmake files since in this video it seemed to work without it.

I want to know what I can do with this installation format and what else do i need to do to get the full root and PyROOT working.

ROOT Version: 6.36
Platform: LINUX (UBUNTU)
Compiler: Anaconda

I have mentioned the tutorial video because I am unable to post with links yet.

Hi @Utsa,

Welcome to the ROOT forum and thank you for your question.

You can find the installation instructions for ROOT as a conda package here: Installing ROOT - ROOT

Cheers,
Dev

I exactly did this much only. But still my TBrowser does not open. Now, when I tried to install the dependencies, it showed this:

Should I do a complete uninstall of conda and root and these packages and retry again?
If so How do I do that? Or is there any better simpler way to do this?

It seems you are using an Ubuntu version that is older than 24.04, so libvdt-dev is not supported.
Try removing libvdt-dev from that line and rerunning that line.

If you are using Ubu22, take a look also at root-ci-images/ubuntu22/packages.txt at main · root-project/root-ci-images · GitHub
