When trying to install madgraph (v3.4.0) in CentOS 7 with python3.7 get error message -requires six module- even though this module is already installed in user

Asked by Sinead

I'm using v3.4.0 of madgraph with python 3.7. I've been trying to run madgraph from the extracted files using 'python 3.7 ./bin/mg5_aMC' but i then get the error message 'madgraph requires six module'.

I have followed the suggested instructions of using 'pip3 install six --user' and then running the same line in the terminal again. However even though the six module is install I once again get the error message of 'madgraph requires six module'.

Help with how to solve this would be much appreciated!

Are you sure that if you do
python3.7
and then
import six

It is working?
If you have multiple version of python3, it is possible that pip3 is installing the module for another version of python.
