could not start madgraph5 for the first time.

Hi,

Looks like Madgraph fails to read the file
/home/akash/Downloads/Python-2.7.9/MG5_aMC_v2_3_3/VERSION

Can you check if this file exists? if not then please reinstall the code.
If it is can you check the content of that file?

a normal file should be of the type:

version = 2.4.0.beta
date = 2016-04-06

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi there,

Mine says version=2.3.3
I'm a absolute beginner so I have a little request.
If someone is installing MadGraph from scratch can you record the screen
and send it to me.
It will be of much help if this is possible.
Thank you.

Best wishes,
Akash

I have downloaded the latest version and followed the actual process.
Now it works fine.
Thank you.

Hi,

You only have that line?

You should have two.
