[Rivet] installation of Rivet

[Debottam Bakshi Gupta]

Hi Dr. Buckley,

Yes I am doing it in lxplus. I logged in to lxplus and created a folder
named Rivet in my home directory and there I wrote the command

wget http://rivet.hepforge.org/hg/bootstrap/raw-file/2.2.1/rivet-bootstrap-lcg
  chmod +x rivet-bootstrap-lcg

and then

 ./rivet-bootstrap-lcg.

Thanks,

Debo.
