Madgraph doesn't find Delphes
Hi all,
I'm having some issues by installing Delphes via Madgraph, so I'm doing it manually by CMake, as indicated here (https:/
cmake -DCMAKE_
make -j6
make -j6 install
Even though Delphes is perfectly installed (I tested the example given in the same post), Madgrpah is not able to find it. It shows "detector = Not Available" when using the user interface.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot,
Sebastian

Do you have a parton-shower availaible?
Did you modify input/mg5_
Did you compile the DelphesSTDHEP executable without that one, the code will display "Not Available"
Cheers,
Olivier
Hi Olivier,
Thank you for your prompt response. Here are my answers:
(1) Parton-shower:
I have installed Pythia8
(2) Delphes_path:
This is what I currently have
#! Delphes Package
#! relative path start from main directory
delphes_path = ./delphes-install
(3) Compilation:
This is what I used to compile Delphes
MY_DIRECTORY=
cd "${MY_DIRECTORY}"
git clone https:/
cd delphes/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake -DCMAKE_
make -j6
make -j6 install
I'm not sure where is my mistake. Thanks!
What is the content of the ./delphes-install?
You should have DelphesSTDHEP inside that directory
I would also advice to put absolute path and not relative path in that file.
Cheers,
Olivier

The content of delphes-install:
- bin <----- DelphesSTDHEP is here
- cards
- examples
- include
- lib
Can you try to set the path to
delphes_path = /......
then
