Versions:
G4Starter, currently at version 0.3.0 and released in three successive builds by publisher evandde, is an interactive command-line utility designed to automate the creation of complete Geant4 simulation projects. Positioned within the scientific/engineering software category, the tool prompts users through a concise series of questions about geometry, physics lists, and output preferences, then instantaneously writes the necessary CMake structure, source files, and macro templates required to compile and run a ready-to-use Monte-Carlo simulation. Typical use cases range from medical-physics groups that need quick patient-dose calculations, to space-science teams modeling satellite shielding, to university instructors who want students to start from a consistent, error-free codebase rather than copying fragments from disparate tutorials. Because every generated project already contains best-practice initialization, threading options, and an example event action, researchers can move directly to implementing detector specifics or experimental data comparisons instead of debugging boiler-plate code. The utility retains backward compatibility with Geant4 versions 10 and 11, supports optional integration with ROOT for histogram output, and allows later regeneration of the same configuration for reproducibility studies. G4Starter is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are served through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest version and enabling batch installation alongside other scientific applications.
