Hi Jessie,
I am forwarding your email to the dumux-mailing list where you can
always write questions and will get help from all the DuMux developers.
Regarding your questions you are absolutely right, you need the Dune
core modules to install DuMux. The section you are referring to refers
to installation with a script which also downloads the necessary dune
modules, that is why you should not have them installed before. If you
did not get the script from a download link via
http://www.dumux.org/download/ then it is better to follow the
explanations on how to install DuMux in section 2.3. or the short
explanation on http://www.dumux.org/installation.php.
For you second question you are again right, you do not need to sign up
to install DuMux. A username and password is only relevant if you would
want to install dumux-devel, which is an old development version of
dumux, we are not maintaining anymore so I would recommend you not to
install that.
If the instructions in 2.3 do not work for you we can also send you an
installation script for a new version in a few weeks. Currently we have
some major changes in DuMux and are working on getting a new version
ready. There will also be some new examples and a tutorial on how to
start using DuMux. You can subscribe to the Mailing List to get
information about new versions here:

Best wishes,
Katharina

Hi Katharina,
My name is Jessie Chao and I'm working on an environmental project at
the University of British Columbia in Canada. I am considering to use
DuMux which is developed by your research team for modeling gas
migration in an aquifer. I've been reading the DuMux manual and the
website to figure out how to install the program, and unfortunately I
got very confused and wasn't able to complete the installation due to
my limited knowledge of Linux. I looked up the contact info on the
website and it led me to your email.
I am wondering if it is okay to ask you some questions of how to
install DuMux?
1) In the manual, it says "/no DUNE core modules should be installed/
(p.5, sec 2.1)", but somehow I got this impression that DuMux can't
run without the DUNE modules such as dune-common/geometry...etc. Is it
correct to download and install dune-common/geometry/grid...etc before
installing DuMux?
2) On page 5 of the manual (sec. 2.1.1), the code "/$ checkout -
dumux-gme-u joeuser//-p password -d DUMUX/". When I tried to put this
line in the terminal, it returned permission denied. To my
understanding that I don't need a password and user account to install
the program, or do I need to apply one?
I apologize for the lengthy email and thank you very much for your time.
Warm regards,
Jessie
