Bug Description

Hello !

When I type
 install pythia8

I get

MG5_aMC>install pythia8
   You are installing 'pythia8', please cite ref(s): arXiv:1410.3012.
Downloading the HEPToolInstaller at:
   http://madgraph.mi.infn.it//Downloads/HEPToolsInstaller/HEPToolsInstaller_V168.tar.gz
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'HEPToolsInstallers.tar.gz'
Command "install pythia8" interrupted with error:
FileNotFoundError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/acordeir/Documents/LPNHE/ATLAS/phenomenology/madgraph/MG5_aMC_v3_5_0/HEPTools/HEPToolsInstallers.tar.gz'

I am on latest version (tried the LTS version and got the same problem)
I tried another install cmd : install hepmc
And this worked fine.

This old report is similar : https://answers.launchpad.net/mg5amcnlo/+question/682122

But I am not sure to understand the solution.

If I am not able to make use the install cmd can I install pythia8 separately and link it to mg5 ?
If so, how do I link it to mg5?

Cheers

Due to the step, this should not be connected to pythia/hepmc.

My guess is that they are one issue with one of our server (likely a certificate to renew).
So my suggestion is to retry as long as needed and I will take a look at all the certificate next week.

CHeers,
