| 1 | If you already generated Les Houches event files, and you want to hadronize them, instead of producing large intermediary files by running Pythia8 standalone, you can now run Pythia8 inside Delphes. |
| 2 | If you did not generate hard scattering events, you can generate them directly via Pythia8 inside Delphes. |

| 4 | First, you'll need a working [http://fastjet.fr/quickstart.html Pythia8] installation. |
| 5 | The environment variable {{{PYTHIA8}}} has to be defined. |

| 15 | Either way, you have to prepare a Pythia8 configuration file (usually defined with the *.cmnd extension). |
