it's not convenient in command bin/newprocess_mg5

Asked by karo

Hi,

    I use the new version MadGraph.5.11. I copy the Template named myproc. But in this new directory(myproc) I'm only allowed to generate new process one time. If I modify the proc_card_mg5_dat file, there are some errors:

    Error: newprocess_mg5 can only be used in a clean copy of Template.
       This directory already contains a generated process, please
       open the index.html file to see information about the process.
If you want to generate events from this process directory, run
  bin/generate_events
or
  bin/madevent
and type "help" to get started.

I think this is not convenient. Sometimes I make a little modification in proc_card.dat, but I must copy the Template again.

Best,
Karo

Hi,

In fact you are using MG5 as you were using MG4.
In MG5 you don't need (but you can) do a copy of the Template manually.

you can just do this:
./bin/mg5 my_proc_card.dat

Instead of the command "output"
you can write
"output PATH"
in order to create (or overwrite) the directory PATH.

Cheers,

Olivier
