Permission problem while installing delphes in madgraph

Hi,

We do not support sudo/root installation.
You can technically run mg5 as sudo andf then type "install Delphes".
But this is fully at your own risk. (in the past "install update" was doing a "rm -rf /" command).
Obviously if you are going to try and that you face such huge issue do not hesitate to tell us and we will try to fix it for future version.

Cheers,

Olivier
