install delphes error: environmental variable ROOTSYS not configured

FYI, I am on MacOS Sonoma 14.4

Hi,

I'm not sure if Delphes author do support Delphes on OSX system.
I have never succeed to install it on my mac (but never really try either).

I have just install root on my mac system, and after running
source ..../thisroot.sh
and then move to madgraph and run
install Delphes
then the check of ROOTSYS is working correctly and Delphes try to install (but crash on my system)
So looks like the check (done by MG5aMC) is working, for the rest you will need the support (if any) of the Delphes team.

Cheers,

Olivier

I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me fix this error. I plan on doing research on muon collider with madgraph and it hinges on me successfully installing it. Thank you in advance.

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for your quick response. I ran on a separate terminal

(base) stevenqiu@169-231-166-18 6.30.06 % bin/thisroot.sh

and no response is given. I then opened a new madgraph terminal and run "install Delphes" but get the same error as last time.

I don't quite understand how to run "source ..../thisroot.sh". Should I run it in madgraph environment or a separate terminal?

Also, my bash_profile currently looks like this, with the lines added in the end, am I editing it correctly?
