Problem with root installation

Hello everyone,

I’m currently struggling with the installation of Root. I downloaded the source file and I compiled it following this guide: https://techforcurious.website/cern-root-installation-ubuntu-18-04-enabling-libraries/
with the exception of the last part where it asks to edit the .bashrc file with:

export ROOTSYS=/home/.....
export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

where I instead used

alias root='source /home/...../bin/thisroot.sh'

At first all worked: running $ root in every path would start the framework, but after closing the shell and trying again nothing would happen. I tried to run $ root again and even executing $ source thisroot.sh in the installation directory no longer works…
There is no Root logo and the shell returns no errors.

How can I solve this problem?
Regards
Marco


ROOT Version: 6.18
Platform: Ubuntu 18.04 x64
Compiler: gcc7.4.0


alias myroot='source /home/…/bin/thisroot.sh'
