EpIC is written in C++ in C++11 standard. It requires the following external libraries:

• PARTONS
• Qt (version 4 or 5)
• GSL
• ROOT
• HepMC3

Other libraries may be required by those listed above.

Both the compilation and linking against external libraries is managed by CMake. To build the project:

• go to build directory located in the root location of the project:

  cd build
  

• configure:

  cmake ..
  

• build:

  make
  

The successful building creates epic executable in bin directory located at the same level as build.

Note that local installations of external libraries may indicated to CMake with -D option. For instance:

cmake -DHepMC3_DIR=ABSOLUTE_PATH ..

will tell CMake to look for HepMC3 library in ABSOLUTE_PATH directory. It should, in this particular case, include HepMC3Config.cmake file, which is issued with the installation of HepMC3.
