This pacakge requires HiggsAnalysis/CombinedLimit to be in your local CMSSW area. We follow the release recommendations of the combine developers which can be found here. The CombineHarvester framework is only compatible with the CMSSW 7_X_Y series releases, though both the ROOT5 and ROOT6 branches of combine are supported.

This repository contains a number of subpackages for different analyses. If you just need the core CombineHarvester/CombineTools subpackge, then the following scripts can be used to clone the repository with a sparse checkout for this one only:

git clone via ssh:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cms-analysis/CombineHarvester/master/CombineTools/scripts/sparse-checkout-ssh.sh)
git clone via https:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cms-analysis/CombineHarvester/master/CombineTools/scripts/sparse-checkout-https.sh)

A new full release area can be set up and compiled in the following steps:
