Running Delphes on lxplus9

[Alberto Plebani]

Hi all,if I
I am trying to run Delphes on lxplus9 (Alma9), but I see that the setup script is a centos7 script, and this leads me to this output:

[alpleban@lxplus988 ~]$ source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_99/x86_64-centos7-gcc10-opt/setup.sh

Is there a new setup script that should be run for lxplus9?

Thank you for the help.

Sincerely,

I think that any version of LCG software can be used with Delphes.

Here is a command to setup the latest version of LCG software for EL9 (AlmaLinux 9):

source /cvmfs/sft.cern.ch/lcg/views/LCG_105/x86_64-el9-gcc12-opt/setup.sh

The main LXPLUS machines now also run EL9.

I have updated the instructions in the WorkBook/QuickTour wiki page and in the README files.
