can't install ninja

Looks like a network connection problem.
Can you just retry? Maybe the ninja website was in maintenance at that time

Cheers,

Hi Dear Olivier,

Thanks a lot for your reply. That solved my question.

Best regards,

Leila

can I install ninja from local tarball?

sorry !
I have installed ninja from local file.

Hi Nijat,

How did you install ninja from a local file such that it works within madgraph?

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers,
Alexander

Since one of our server is down (for probably a long period)
I would advise to use the command
install ninja --source=ucl

Otherwise, you can install ninja from source and then edit the file
input/mg5_configuration.txt
and specify inside where you have installed ninja on your machine

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Thank you very much!

Indeed, installing it with ninja --source=ucl does work (also with generate, launch, ....) .

However, I would like to have a possibility to install it from a local repository, since I want to install it on nodes which do not always find the download page. For instance, I cannot install collier with this command, such that I use a local version.

To install it locally, I looked at the installNinja.sh script to get the same installation as what Madgraph would do, but it crashes with the local version:

NINJAINSTALLD="$PWD/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/ninja"
TARBALLPATH="$PWD/HEPTools/ninja_src/ninja-latest.tar.gz"
ONELOOPINSTALLD="$PWD/MG5_aMC_v2_6_3_2/HEPTools/oneloop"

export CXX=`which c++`
export FC=`which gfortran`
COMPILATIONFLAGS="-O2 -fcx-fortran-rules -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti"
CPPSTANDARDLIB="-lstdc++"
mkdir -p $NINJAINSTALLD
cd $NINJAINSTALLD
mkdir Ninja
tar xzvf ${TARBALLPATH} -C Ninja --strip-components 1
echo "Entering Ninja directory and installing Ninja"
cd Ninja
./configure --prefix=${NINJAINSTALLD} --enable-higher_rank --with-avholo='-L'"${ONELOOPPATH}"' -lavh_olo' FCINCLUDE=-I${ONELOOPPATH} CXX=${CXX} CXXFLAGS="${COMPILATIONFLAGS}" CPPFLAGS='-DNINJA_NO_EXCEPTIONS -fPIC' --enable-quadninja LIBS=${CPPSTANDARDLIB}
echo "== Content of config.log =="
cat config.log
echo "== End of content of config.log =="
make
make install

Then I link the lib, include and bin files to HEPTools/bin, HEPTools/lib, HEPTools/include

When running
generate p p > t t~ [QCD]
output ttjasym
launch
order=LO
fixed_order=ON

I get following error message:

Hi all,

I have managed to install ninja (+collier and oneloop) offline using the HEPToolsInstaller as follows (from with the MG5 directory):

MAINDIR=$PWD
if [[ ! -d HEPTools ]]; then
    mkdir HEPTools
fi
cp vendor/*.tar.gz HEPTools
cd HEPTools
