Welcome to ROOTaaS 6.05/02

For the moment ROOT was compiled using python 2 and not python 3. This means that in this particular container you are stuck using legacy python.

ROOT on the commandline

If you want to use ROOT from the commandline open a new terminal and type root -b. The -b is important as there is no X server available.
