I have downloaded a madevent.tar.gz package. Can I create the gridpack locally?

If you have generated a process on-line and you do not want to use this cluster to create the gridpack you can also create the gridpack locally or using your own computer cluster. To do this you'll have to download the

madevent.tar.gz

tar ball from the process page and untar it in a new directory. Then you'll have to set-up the (run) parameters by editing the run_card.dat (./Cards/run_card.dat) and param_card.dat (./Cards/param_card.dat) as usual (remember to set gridpack on .true. in the run_card.dat!). Then you can generate the gridpack by running

./bin/generate_events
