MadGraph version 3.1.0

Asked by Fatima

Dear Olivier,
I am currently using MadGraph version 3.1.0 and would like to upgrade to the latest version, MadGraph 3.5.1. However, When I try to use the command "install update", the error appears:
Command "install update" interrupted with error:
InvalidCmd : Installation of mg5amc_py8_interface failed.
Do I have delete Madgraph 3.1.0 and i will install 3.5.1.
I'm wondering if it would be advisable to uninstall MadGraph 3.1.0 before proceeding with the installation of version 3.5.1.
Best regards
Fatemeh

Dear Fatemeh,

Upgrading software versions can sometimes be tricky, but I'll be happy
to guide you through the process. It's generally a good idea to
uninstall the older version before installing the new one to avoid any
conflicts. Here's a step-by-step process you can follow:

Backup your work: Before you begin, make sure to back up any important
data or configurations related to MadGraph. This will ensure you don't
lose any valuable work during the upgrade process.

Uninstall MadGraph 3.1.0:

If you installed MadGraph 3.1.0 using a package manager like pip, you can use the following command to uninstall it:
Copy code
pip uninstall madgraph
If you installed it manually, locate the directory where MadGraph 3.1.0 is installed and delete it https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftodesursache.com%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cfatemeh.najafi%40umontreal.ca%7Ccc918a04416d4b88271408db9b1d0bbe%7Cd27eefec2a474be7981e0f8977fa31d8%7C1%7C0%7C638274321325463336%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=N0uHSUPdoGhxwJR4qjRx9NQONM5eTQ3PXo0AkJMsBLc%3D&reserved=0<https://todesursache.com/>.

Thanks Ines,

The simplest is indeed to install 3.5.1 from scratch, you do not need to remove the previous version.

Cheers,

Olivier
