This is GATE10 beta version. The first non-beta release will be officially announced end of May 2024.
See the User Guide. The current version uses Geant4 11.2.1.
Compatible with Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11. Not available for Python 3.12 yet. On Windows multithreading, Qt visualization and the "spawn new subprocess" are not (yet) available.
First, create an environment (not mandatory but highly advised)
python -m venv opengate_env
source opengate_env/bin/activate
or you can use the conda environment.
conda create --name opengate_env python=3.9
conda activate opengate_env
Then install the package opengate. The package opengate_core is automatically downloaded. opengate_core installs Geant4 librairies.
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --pre opengate
If you already installed the packages and want to upgrade to the latest version:
pip install --upgrade --pre opengate
Once installed, you can run all tests:
opengate_tests
WARNING The first time you run this command, the test data will be downloaded. If the download fails (on some systems), try to add the following command before running opengate_tests:
export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
All tests are in the folder here. The test data (binary files) are stored, for technical reasons, in this git: https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/opengamgate/gam_tests_data (which is stored as a git submodule).
WARNING Some tests (e.g. test034) needs gaga-phsp which needs pytorch that cannot really be automatically installed by the previous pip install (at least we don't know how to do). So, in order to run those tests, you will have to install both PyTorch and gaga-phsp first with
pip install torch
pip install gaga-phsp
