Problem with running madgraph.

Asked by Nishant Saini

Hello,
I want to use madgraph. I downloaded it and tried to untar but I didn't succeed. Then I moved the downloaded file to the home directory, untarred it and it was done. Now I wanted to run it. I used ./bin/mg5 and also .bin/mg5_aMC but both didn't work.

~$ ./bin/mg5
bash: ./bin/mg5: No such file or directory

~$ ./bin/mg5_aMC
bash: ./bin/mg5_aMC: No such file or directory

What should I do? This is the file I downloaded: 'MG5_aMC_v2.6.0.tar.gz'.
My python version is Python 2.7.12. Could you please help me with this? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Thanks!
Nishant

Hi,

to untar the document, you can do
tar -xzpvf MG5_aMC_v2.6.0.tar.gz
then you can do
cd MG5_aMC_v2.6.0

and from that directory you can run:
> ./bin/mg5_aMC

Cheers,

Olivier

PS: I would suggest that you follow an introduction to linux as soon as possible to help you in those manipulation which are very standard in LINUX
