Installing root command line?

[Wim_Beaumont]

On the page ROOT files - ROOT there is mentioned that there are root command line tools like rootrm , rootcp. But I can not find them on my system.
How to get these tools ?

ROOT Version: 6.32.04
Platform: Alma9 ( CERN distribution dnf but not in the CERN network )

Hello @Wim_Beaumont,

welcome to the ROOT forum!

You have to add ROOT to your path, e.g. source path/to/ROOT/bin/thisroot.sh, where path/to/ROOT is where you can find your ROOT installation.

Cheers,
Monica

Your reply is correct but I installed root with dnf ( epel) on Alma 9.
Finally I found the rpm I need. root-cli . But in the summary description in rpmfind is :“ROOT command line utilities” while I was searching for " ROOT command line tools" as it is called on the root manual pages. ( just enough difference not to find it with a simple search)

I see that in this pages [1] the denomination is " Command line utilities". This pages is not under the ROOT team control. The “official” way to name these set of commands is “Command Line Tools” as said in the manual,
