Hi,

It may look like it starts from the beginning, because the
fenics-install.sh script will download hashdist, hashstack and
fenics-developer-tools every time you run it. However, the other packages
will be stored in ~/.hashdist (unless you modify ~/.hashdist/config.yaml)
and it will not build them again unless you change the hashdist profile. I
see from your terminal output that there is a problem downloading openssl.
This problem can be fixed by adding a source cache mirror to
fenicsproject.org. To do this, add the following line under source_caches
in ~/.hashdist/config.yaml:

  - url: http://fenicsproject.org/pub/hashdist/src

Note that on a cluster it might be better to download hashdist and
hashstack manually instead of using the fenics-install.sh script. This
gives you better control and you can setup a hashdist profile to use
modules from the cluster, like compiler and MPI modules. See for instance
the fenics.abel.gnu.yaml example in hashstack.
