This package 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 compatible with the CMSSW 10_2_X and 11_3_X series releases. The default branch, main, is for developments in the 11_3_X releases, and the current recommended tag is v2.0.0. The 102x branch should be used in CMSSW_10_2_X, and is expected to receive only minor updates.
