Permission problem while installing delphes in madgraph
Hi, all!
I have MG5 v2.6.0 installed in my machine and I want to install Delphes. After using the "install Delphes" instruction I received some "Permission denied" messages:
MG5_aMC>install Delphes
You are installing 'Delphes', please cite ref(s): arXiv:1307.6346.
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/

rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/local/
There's is a way in which I can perfom this instruction as a "sudo user" or something like that?
Thank you!!!

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
