I've tried again today and the following is the entire process I've been 
through to the same point - is anyone able to help?

I've looked at the demo but I'm keen to see a working example of it (if 
anyone knows of one online and running?) and also to see how it is to 
actually use. I assume there is a point where you get past the maze of 
installation and get to an interface that you can actually use and alter, 
so I'd like to reach that point if possible.
Has no-one else had issues installing?
Thanks,
