Hello. This blog will consist of some information I have gathered/commands I have run that may help me in the future when I'm lost. Currently, the README I have been following is from Daniel on github. Link:
https://github.com/jdbrice/star-sw-1/tree/fwd-tracking/StRoot/StFwdTrackMaker/macro#setup-on-rcf

• While following the readme, make sure to run 'stardev' before 'source' and 'cons'
• Not sure if I have to run 'cons' every time I load the environment

Note: winSCP will save many headaches for file management.

Some commands to maybe get where I want to go:

• cd star-sw-1
• stardev

Some other READMEs that I have tried to follow:

/star-sw-1/StRoot/StFwdTrackMaker/macro/sim/README.md
From this readme, I have tried to sim "particle gun MC". There were several steps underneath:

Results from 'sim/run_batch_fast 1 3':

• I get the message : 'RZMAKE. OLD RZ format selected for RZDOC' over and over while running. Not sure what is going on here
• BFC:FATAL - StBFChain::Instantiate() problem with instantiation Maker=[StFcsDbMaker] Name=[fcsDbMkr]
  root4star: .sl73_gcc485/obj/StRoot/StBFChain/StBFChain.cxx:382: virtual Int_t StBFChain::Instantiate(): Assertion `mk' failed.
  sim/run_batch_fast: line 13:  7558 Aborted                 root4star -b -q -l 'sim/fwd_tracking.C( '"${nEvents}"', "sim.fzd", "sim/fast_track.xml" )'

  mv: cannot stat ‘fast_track.root’: No such file or directory
  mv: cannot stat ‘mltree.root’: No such file or directory
  mv: cannot stat ‘fcstrk.root’: No such file or directory

• Not going to try the other commands until I can figure out why this one is broken.
• I might need to add a couple lines of code from the README to this macro as shown in step 2 of 'Setup on RCF'.

Going to talk to Daniel about these errors. In the future, I plan to archive results, errors, and figures on the blog.
