Automated installation (recommended)
Performing a complete installation of Herwig can be done using the following commands:
mkdir Herwig cd Herwig export LOC_HERWIG=$PWD wget https://herwig.hepforge.org/downloads/herwig-bootstrap chmod +x herwig-bootstrap ./herwig-bootstrap $LOC_HERWIG -j 4
with "4" being the number of processors that can be tasked with this installation. Afterward, the installation can be checked by:
source $LOC_HERWIG/bin/activate cd $LOC_HERWIG/share/Herwig Herwig read LHC-Matchbox.in Herwig run LHC_Matchbox.run -N 100
