In this first episode we will go through the running of single particle events with `ddsim`, using the built-in event generator of `ddsim`. This is the quickest way so run some straightforward tests of the geometry and produce output hits in the detectors for further analysis.

> You may also see reference to using `npsim` in some tutorials. We will discuss the difference between `ddsim` and `npsim`, along with cases where one should be used over the other, in the next episode of this tutorial.

## Passing options to `ddsim`
1720

1821
The program `ddsim` is part of the DD4hep installation when it is compiled with Geant4 support. In the EIC standard environment `eic-shell` it is available and used for many simulations in the suite of continuous integration and benchmarking checks for the geometry. Simply entering `ddsim --help` will show the large wealth of options that can be passed to `ddsim` on the command line.
