KIAS School on MadGraph for LHC Physics

Installation of the different software

In order to be efficient during the time of the school, we would like to ask you to install all the different package that you will need during the school. For any trouble you can contact Olivier Mattelaer at the following address: olivier.mattelaer@… .

Windows

The different program are foreseen to run on Linux/Mac. If you don't have Linux or Mac, the best solution is to install Linux (I would advice to install Ubuntu) in dual boot and follow the instructions for Linux

Linux

Basic program

Those programs are by default present in any linux distribution, but just in case you should check that they are all installed in your computer:

• perl
• bash
• gfortran 4.x (To check the version do gfortran do: gfortran --version)

If those program are not installed. you can use apt-get/yum/... in order to have those.

Madgraph 5

• python 2.6/2.7 MadGraph 5 requires python 2.6 or python 2.7. In order to check your version of python, you can type: python --version. Some of the repositories are still on python 2.5. So if updating python via your repository manager didn't work. you can download directly python from the following link: ​http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz and follow instructions.
