Installation of CORSIKA 6.5 on Linux:

Starting with a Debian Sarge base system installation, you need to install the following debian packages:

Required:

gcc - GNU C compiler
make - Make tools
g77 - GNU Fortran 77 compiler

Optional:

libpng12 - PNG library (used by PLOTSH2)
libpng12-dev - development header files for libpng12 (used by PLOTSH2)

Very optional (if you use your machine remotely for simulation only):

FTP server
SSH daemon

# tar xzf corsika-6500.tar.gz
# cd corsika-6500
# ./corsika-install

Some system checks are performed first, then the script asks some questions, mainly on what models to use. I accepted the default values for the first run:

Which high energy hadronic interaction model do you want to use ?
 3 - QGSJET 01C (default)
Which low energy hadronic interaction model do you want to use ?
 2 - GHEISHA 2002d (default)
which routine for date and time ?
 1 - new date_and_time routine (default)
which detector geometry do you have ?
 1 - horizontal flat detector array (default)
Which program version do you like ?
 7 - shower PLOT version (PLOTSH) (only for single events)
 72 - shower PLOT version 2 (PLOTSH2) (only for single events)
Make corsika6500 executable file ?
 yes - make source and compile                       (default)
Do you want to save the "src/corsika6500_QGSJET_gheisha_compilefile.f" ?
 n - no, I don't need it            (default)

Since the plots of the air shower have most eye catching value, I just selected PLOTSH and PLOTSH2 for now.

Several Makefiles are generated now and if all goes well, you end up with this message:

--> "corsika6500Linux_QGSJET_gheisha" successfully installed in :
    /home/corsika/corsika-6500/run/

--> You can run CORSIKA in /home/corsika/corsika-6500/run/ using for instance :
    ./corsika6500Linux_QGSJET_gheisha < all-inputs > output.txt

CORSIKA is now ready to use, proceed with USING CORSIKA
