The package “hs-tools” is a light-weight framework to download ProMC files and run validation scripts. You can use Python to use this package. Here are a few software components that are included in this tool:

• Jython book
• DMelt (community version)
• GRoot

See Java code API of hs-tools. Look at Analysis primer for a short tutorial.

Install the hs-toolkit using the “bash” shell on Linux/Mac:

bash       # set to bash if needed   
wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/hs-toolkit.tgz -O - | tar -xz;
source hs-toolkit/setup.sh

This creates the directory “hs-toolkit” with HepSim commands. Java7/8 and above should be installed. You can view the commands by typing:

hs-help

This package is used for download, view and analyse HepSim files (truth-level only). To analyse (*.lcio) files with Geant4 simulations, use JAS4PP program. To analyse ROOT files with fast simulations, use Delphes/ROOT frameworks.
