CERN ROOT Tutorial 2: Installing ROOT

You can visit the full playlist for watching all videos of this tutorial series:

You can also visit my new website with ROOT tutorials:

The command for configuring in the "buildroot" folder is:
cmake ..

In order to choose the installation path, you can type after that:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="[path for installation]" .

And to choose the option of compiling all packages, you can simply type:
cmake -Dall=on .
