Run Delphes on ProMC files

Description

Dear Delphes team,

1) How can I run Delphes on ProMC files? In Delphes/reader directory I can see DelphesProMC.py but I'm not sure how to create the executable for that? In that python code, it says the usage includes specifying a config_file which I don't know what it is.
2) Also, I have a code which needs fastjet but I can't see the binaries and fastjet-config in external/fastjet. Can I create these or should I have a separate fastjet installation outside Delphes?

Thank you,
Amin

How can I run Delphes on ProMC files?

If you have correctly installed and configured the ProMC library, then building Delphes with the make command should create an executable binary file called DelphesProMC.

In that python code, it says the usage includes specifying a config_file which I don't know what it is.

Both DelphesProMC and DelphesProMC.py require the same command line parameters as the other Delphes programs. The description of the command line parameters can be found at the following link:

You should have a separate fastjet installation.
