The Geant4-DNA extension is fully included in the Geant4 public distribution.

Users are supposed to be already familiar with Geant4, please see the Geant4 documentation.

Alternatively, for users who do not wish to install Geant4 by themselves, we also propose a Geant4 Virtual Machine for VMWare™ or VirtualBox™ for Windows™ or macOS™, freely available for download at this link.
