my system default is python2.5. I installed python2.6 but how to link it

Asked by Santosh

I am using ubuntu 8.04LTS and the system default is python 2.5.2. I have installed python 2.6 as a separate version, but when mg5 call for the system default, it gets python 2.5 and does not run. So can I somehow use Madgraph 5 by redirecting to my python 2.6 installation without changing the system default ?

Hello Santosh,

You can always start mg5 by
python bin/mg5
That way you can specify which version of Python you'll be running.

All the best,
Johan
