Hi Olivier,
Yes, I tried it again today and did not work. This is the print on the screen for the installation of lhapdf6:

I have also attached the 'lhapdf6_install.log' file for your review. Interestingly, it says at the bottom:
-------------------
/Users/emrocar/Documents/MG5_aMC_v2_7_3/HEPTools/HEPToolsInstallers/installLHAPDF6.sh: line 58: wget: command not found
tar: Error opening archive: Failed to open 'NNPDF23_lo_as_0130_qed.tar.gz'
 Finished LHAPDF6 installation
-------------------

The folder HEPTools/lhapdf6/share/LHAPDF contained only two files, i.e. 'lhapdf.conf' and 'pdfsets.index', so I copied manually the download that you indicated in your message into that folder. This appears to have solved the issue; now the systematics computation runs ok. Unfortunately, this seems to have generated other issues with my existing UFO but this is most likely to be another topic altogether, so, I will ask elsewhere.

Many thanks,
Emilio.
