Mon présent post est en anglais mais facile à comprendre, au pire google traduction devrait s'en sortir...

The first phase consisted in installing the necessary tools in a Linux environment and testing them. You can see the procedure here:

My post on the report of this first step is here:

For the second step which I report here, I invite you to read the post explaining the different tasks to accomplish, I will show for my part their realization.

FIRST TASK:

I launched my Ubuntu linux environment under VirtualBox and navigated to the "MG5_aMC_v2_9_9" folder where I opened a terminal.
Then I typed in the terminal "./bin/mg5_aMC" to launch the MG5aMC tool.

Then I ran the command "generate p p > t t~"

And to finish this first task I entered the command "display diagrams" which generated this:

SECOND TASK

In the terminal I entered the command "output step2", step2 being the name I chose, you will choose yours.

The following files have been created:

---

THIRD TASK

In the MG5aMC software I enter the command "launch step2" (you have to replace step2 by the name you have chosen) and I arrive at a menu, you will have to type 1 then enter and 4 then enter to get this result:

Then I hit enter to get to another menu:

Here we enter the choice 2 then enter to edit the configuration file and change in the line 129 "True" in "False", I had some difficulties with the editor but I succeeded.

Then the simulation starts when you press the enter key:

---

FOURTH TASK

Here we check that everything has gone well:

And by going into my folder
"cd step2/Events/run_01_decayed_1"
and entering the command
"ls -lrt"
I check that a big file named "tag_1_pythia8_events.hepmc.gz" has been created.

We are done for this step of the citizen science adventure on Hive.
