Message Failure when installing Stable on Mathematica 10 #2

Closed crockpotveggies closed 9 years ago

Not sure if this is normal or not, but got a weird error when running the internet install for the latest Stable release on Mathematica 10:

Please follow the steps in https://github.com/FeynCalc/feyncalc/wiki/FeynArts#patching_fa

and make sure that $FeynArtsDirectory points to the directory where you put FeynArts.

Just to be clear here, this was using the internet install method, or rather:

Import["http://www.feyncalc.org/install.m"]

I was, however, able to remedy the issue by removing all FeynCalc files from Mathematica/Applications and used one of the nightlies. Seems a little weird, but maybe its something finicky in Mathematica 10?

I know. The version 8.2 actually came out almost three years ago http://www.feyncalc.org/download/. and the active development was restarted only last year.

The current development version is much more thoroughly tested and has got a lot of bug fixes and improvements. However, it is still not quite where we want it to be for a proper release.

Ah got it, I'll close this issue then. Anything I can do to help? Do you have a mailing list?

vsht commented 9 years ago

The mailing list is here: http://www.feyncalc.org/forum/

Testers are always wanted. If you happen to be a particle physicist, you can check your results with FeynCalc and report bugs or suggest improvements.
