Hello, are there any binaries available for ROOT 6 for Windows? If not, are there instructions for building it? The downloads webpage doesn’t mention this topic at all, unfortunately. Cheers, Kilian

Have you tried the Linux Subsystem for Windows ( Install Guide )? I’d be curious to hear how that works with ROOT. (You’ll probably still need a X11 Server such as Xming.)

The Linux subsystem is known to work with ROOT. But this is fairly unrelated to the missing download entry :wink:

Any news on ROOT 6 for Windows?

You can use ROOT 6 in a docker container in windows (graphics included with a bit of additional configuration), just see ROOT’s release/download page (can’t remember which). It’s not the same as native binaries but it’s something :slight_smile:

It does not help us - we use ROOT inside a custom application - mainly due to its TGeoManager for 3D navigation during particle and optical photon tracking. Now we are limited to ROOT5, but its getting more and more difficult to stay there. We really need ROOT6 and 64bits…

FYI, ROOT 6 on Windows 64bit is two steps: we are working on getting ROOT 6 on Windows 32bit first. Once that’s done, we’ll see how to port to 64bit.

Dear Bertrand, any news? :roll_eyes:

Hi Vladislav, Yes, ROOT 6 now compiles on Windows, but it is still not fully working. I have good hope to make the master working on Windows (32 bit) before the end of the year Cheers, Bertrand.

ROOT Docker containers News

The ROOT team is pleased to announce that we are now providing ROOT in Docker containers through Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/rootproject/root-ubuntu16/. This means you can easily download and start ROOT on any machine that have Docker installed without compiling anything. Docker is currently supported on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Containers greatly simplifies the distribution of ROOT by lowering the barrier for new users to try out ROOT, but also for existing users that may want to try…
