ROOT 6 opening problem

[Artashes]

Hello,

I have installed ROOT_6.19/01 on Ubuntu 16.04, and right after I uninstalled the old version ROOT_5.
Now by entering “root” in terminal it says “The program ‘root’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install root-system-bin”, but I have successfully installed ROOT_6.19/01 and I can open it manually from its location.

Does someone know the magic command that permits to open ROOT_6 from any directory?

I am not very familiar with Linux commands so please be explicit.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Sourcing root for all users

So, the common approach for sourcing ROOT seems to be just including source /path/to/root/bin/thisroot.sh in your ~/.bashrc I was thinking that in order for it to work for all users, you could do the same in /etc/bash.bashrc (but that doesn’t seem to work). And that for it to work also when accessing the computer via SSH, you could do the same in /etc/environment. Neither of these options, however, seem to work for me, and I’m at my wits’ end. How have/would you solve this? I want to set t…

Thank your very much for the hint

actually by entering

source /path_to_root/bin/thisroot.sh

Doesn’t work if I restart my computer. BUT

Paste the following at end of the .bashrc file:

# For ROOT

export ROOTSYS=/path_to_root_where_it_is_built/root

export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ROOTSYS/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

pay attention to put your “path_to_root_where_it_is_built” correctly
