Is there no other possibility, because I didn’t like XQuartz? And what advantages / disadvantages do I have with XQuartz? Open a new terminal and start using root. profile file and add the following line anywhere you want source ~/Downloads/root_v6.02.08/bin/thisroot.sh I presume you download root_v6.02.08. into your ~/Downloads folder, so the path to your compiled ROOT is ~/Download/root-6.02.08 Now keep track of the absolute path of your root-6.02.08 folder. Wait for 15 - 30 mins and you are done (Unless tons of error then post them here and other will help figure it out). Don’t bother about how many core your machine has, just go with the standard “make” $ cd root-6.02.08 Then go into the directory just extracted and configure and compile. Just download the source code for ROOT 6.02/08 (or ROOT 5.34/30) and unzip $ gunzip root_v6.02.08. Since you already have Xcode and Command Line Dev tools, you are already set ( I assume you also have XQuartz 2.7.7 installed /landing/) (If you don't see the Applications > Terminal part, then you may need to open XQuartz once, close it, and you should be able to right click and see these options.In my experience running ROOT on Mac OSX, its best to just compile root from source code. This will configure XQuartz to run the application we want. In the dock, right click on XQuartz, hover over Applications and click on Terminal. Once you find it, click it once and drag it down to the dock at the bottom of the screen. Navigate to Finder > Applications > Utilities.
