To run the C++ example you will need PYTHIA 8.1 and the HepMC 2 package. Pythia 8 must be compiled with HepMC so that the library hepmcinterface exists.
Install and set-up ROOT, Pythia 8 and HepMC.
Extract MC-TESTER and execute "make" in the main folder
The examples-C++ and example-F77 directories contains some programs which demonstrate the use of MC-TESTER. Below are the instructions for running the tau decay comparison for pythia 6.4 vs pythia 8 Z0 events.
Enter the subfolder example-F77/pythia and run
make ./pythiatest.exe make move1
Enter the subfolder example-C++/pythia and run
make ./pythia_test.exe make move2
cd ../../analyse/ make
This should produce a LaTex document similar to this but with fewer events.
