I am trying to work in the field of particle physics and I need help configuring software for that.
I am trying to install HepMC3 in my ubuntu 20.04 but I am unaware of how to run it. I have followed all the installation instructions listed on their website. I am mentioning the command for installation below
$wget http://hepmc.web.cern.ch/hepmc/releases/HepMC3-3.2.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf HepMC3-3.2.2.tar.gz
mkdir hepmc3-build
cd hepmc3-build
cmake -DHEPMC3_ENABLE_ROOTIO:BOOL=OFF -DHEPMC3_ENABLE_TEST:BOOL=OFF \
-DHEPMC3_INSTALL_INTERFACES:BOOL=ON -DHEPMC3_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=ON -DHEPMC3_PYTHON_VERSIONS=2.7 \
-DHEPMC3_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DHEPMC3_BUILD_DOCS:BOOL=OFF \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../hepmc3-install \
-DHEPMC3_Python_SITEARCH27=../hepmc3-install/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
../HepMC3-3.2.2
make
make install
After that, I want to compile example files present in the HepMC-3.2.2/examples/RootIOExample3. For that,
$cmake -DUSE_INSTALLED_HEPMC3=ON -DHepMC3_DIR=/home/aritra/Desktop/Project/HepMC3-3.2.3 CMakeLists.txt I ran the following code in the example folder:
But it is giving me the following error:
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of
code such as
project(ProjectName)
near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().
CMake is pretending there is a "project(Project)" command on the first
line.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:26 (install):
install DIRECTORY given no DESTINATION!
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is the readme file for HepMC for reference.
