Converting root file to csv using root2csv

ok. so, first a few clarifying things. root-ls, root2csv, … all the commands from go-hep.org/x/hep are written in Go. Go is a compiled programming language, so one needs a compiler (e.g. one that can be installed from golang.org) to compile Go source code into an executable for a given operating system + architecture (e.g.: linux + 64bits machine). go get go-hep.org/x/hep/cmd/root2csv will fetch the Go code for root2csv, compile it and install the resulting binary under some directory (by…
