Hello, my name is Sandip and I’m a first year physics student at university. I’m very new to programming and to root in particular and I have a question about installing Root. I currently have a laptop running Windows 10 and want to know how to go about installing Root on it. I know that there are …

You only need Visual Studio if you want to compile your code, or if you want to create your own application… Cheers, Bertrand.

Just a reminder that Windows 10 now has WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and it is possible to run ROOT 6 binary distribution for Ubuntu 14/16 (depending on version installed in WSL) inside it. You’ll need X11 server for Windows, for example, XMing. [image]

Thanks a lot for the tips. As it turned out the default xming worked, but then we had to install additional libraries (libxft and libtiff5) to get a TCanvas to display (otherwise we had a segmentation fault claiming these missing libraries). cheers, Clem

@berserker Is it essential X11 server for Window 10 (Xming…)? Window 10 has window subsystem for Linux. We only need to turn on DEVELOOPED MODE and window subsystem for Linux then we will download ubuntu from Microsoft store.

I think you don’t need X11 if you run root in the batch mode.

Where do you write code, on win 10 or on WSL? Do you need install Microsoft visual studio corresponding with version of ROOT installed on WSL?
