Introduction to Pythia 8

Pythia is a computer simulation program for predicting events at very high energies in particle accelerators (colliders).
It was originally written in FORTRAN 77, until the 2007 release of PYTHIA 8.1 which was rewritten in C++

Installation 

$ mkdir pythia
$ cd pythia
$ wget https://pythia.org/download/pythia83/pythia8317.tgz
$ tar xvfz pythia8317.tgz
$ cd pythia8317
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Last two steps compile and install the source code. (May take 10-15 min)

You should also define the path:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/abingul/phys715/pythia/pythia8317/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Compiling and Running Examples 

$ cd examples
$ make main101
$ ./main101
