3 [Geant4](https://www.geant4.org/) is a toolkit for simulating how particles pass through matter. It is available through the `geant4` package.
5 ## Setup hook {#geant4-hook}
7 The setup hook included in the package applies the environment variables set by the [`geant4.sh` script](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/blob/master/cmake/Modules/G4ConfigureGNUMakeHelpers.cmake#L4-L55), which is typically necessary for compiling `make`-based programs that depend on Geant4.
9 ## Datasets {#geant4-datasets}
11 All of [the Geant4 datasets provided by CERN](https://geant4.web.cern.ch/support/download) are available through the `geant4.data` attrset.
13 ### Setup hook {#geant4-datasets-hook}
15 The hook provided by the packages in `geant4.data` will set an appropriate environment variable in the form of `G4[...]DATA`. For example, for the `G4RadioactiveDecay` dataset, the `G4RADIOACTIVEDATA` environment variable is set to the value expected by Geant4.
