PHITS installation
Installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux are available
• Windows: Move to “win” folder and double-click setup-eng.vbs (see
win/instruction-eng.pptx)

Important notice
• Approximately 10 GB disk space is required.
• Please do not change the path (folder name) to install PHITS from its
default setting (e.g. c:/ for Windows).
• If PHITS has been already installed in the default setting path, please
rename the former folder’s name (e.g. “phits” to “phits-old”) before the
installation.

Installation 4
Confirmation of Installation
When installation is completed, open
/phits/lecture/basic/lec01/
folder and execute PHITS with an input file lec01.inp

How to run PHITS

 Windows: Select an input file -> Right click -> Send to -> Select
PHITS
 Mac: Drag & drop in input file to a blue PHITS icon in the dock
 Linux: type “phits.sh lec01.inp” in your console

Please see instruction files in each folder in more detail

Execution 5
Check PHITS simulation results
When PHITS execution is finished, output files phits.out, track_xz.out,
track_xz.eps, track_xz_err.out, track_xz_err.eps, batch.out are created. Open
track_xz.eps and check whether eps file is shown or not.

track_xz.eps

If you cannot see this figure, please install software for opening EPS file by
referring the instruction files in each folder

6
Installation of Text Editor
Install text editor that can show line number. Our recommended text
editor is Notepad++. for Windows and CotEditor for Mac.

If you select Notepad++, please do not forget to make shortcuts to PHITS

See pages 9-10 in win/instruction-eng.pptx

(Windows only) Associate *.inp and *.out files with the installed text
editor (e.g. Notepad++)

See pages 11 in win/instruction-eng.pptx

7
Run from Terminal (Mac only)
Once you run PHITS by dragging & drop an input file into PHITS
icon, a terminal window is opened. We recommend to run PHITS
via the terminal window from the next time
How to run PHITS via terminal
1. Drag & drop an input file (e.g. lec01.inp) into PHITS icon.
A terminal window is opened and PHITS is executed in the terminal
2. Click the terminal and press cursor key “↑”
Previous command (e.g. phits.sh lec01.inp) is shown in the terminal
3. Press “Enter” for running the same input file.
4. Change the input file name (e.g. phits.sh lec01-test.inp) to run
another input file in the same folder
It’s much easier and faster to run PHITS many times

For Mac users 8


Confirmation of PHIG-3D
PHITS Interactive Geometry Viewer in 3D
In the folder of “/phits/lecture/basic/lec01”
(Windows)
Right-click lec01.inp and select “SEND TO”→ ”PHIG-3D”
(Mac)
Drag lec01.inp & drop into the icon of ”PHIG-3D”

Installation of additional library is occasionally necessary

Important Notice!
Electricity supply of laptops
During the course, please be sure that AC electricity is
supplied to your laptop. Otherwise, power saving mode setup
will be applied depending on the OS setup. In that case you
may suffer from CPU power limitation.

Installation folder name


For Windows, we recommend to install PHITS into “c:\”
(default folder) because all sample input files expect the
installation folder name of “c:\phits”. In addition, you cannot
move or rename “phits” folder after the installation finished
for both Windows and Mac.
