Hi Abdurrhman,

Looks like the install process didn’t complete successfully. What specifically did you do when you installed OpenMC?

i followed the instructions on this link:  
[https://mit-crpg.github.io/openmc/usersguide/install.html#usersguide-install](https://mit-crpg.github.io/openmc/usersguide/install.html#usersguide-install)  
i start from the begining until running openmc section (2.4)  
i even installed cross sections perfectly.
