Install OpenGATE

Install OpenGATE on WSL

Preface

🧐 What is OpenGATE?

Geant4 is a general particle transport simulation tool, while GATE is a specific application based on Geant4, focusing on simulation and simulation in the field of nuclear medicine. OpenGATE is based on GATE, which is written in Python language, it is a work in progress.

🧐 What is WSL?

Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL). We can regard this system as a duo system (Windows and Linux) or a virtual machine, anyway, it's convenient to use both two systems.

Installation

  1. Install WSL: open CMD, input wsl --install, for detail, see Official tutorial .
  2. Install Anaconda in WSL terminal: download the package on Win, then copy to the WSL dirctory like home/user/, then install it by bash package.sh, then following the instructions.
  3. Create conda environment: input conda create -n gate python=3.9
  4. Install OpenGATE in the gate environment: pip install -pre opengate

Test

  1. Test: input opengate_tests install the missing lib according to the instructions, mainly .so files. e.g. conda install -c conda-forge libstdcxx-ng conda install qt=5 Also pay attention to step 6.
  2. Declare path export PATH="/opt/conda/envs/gate/bin:$PATH" in the terminal(temporal) or write in the ~/.bashrc(permanent), then source ~/.bashrc, to make it into effect.

Install OpenGATE on Windows

Installation

  1. Install miniconda or Anaconda on Windows
  2. Create conda environment: input conda create -n gate python=3.9/3.10/3.11
  3. Install OpenGATE in the gate environment: pip install -pre opengate -pre means the latest version
    Note: if one wants to update the OpenGATE, delete the gate environment and create new conda env then install as step 2. Otherwise error happens~

Test

  1. Test: input opengate_info, some missing data will automatically download. And in Windows, no need to declare path.
