maybe a dozen or so dependencies; I thought they were clearly spelled out in the README's. Yes, I suppose it might take a while to install. The ocpkg is supposed to simplify that.

On the other hand, its kind of like an entrance exam: if you can't jump over the first hurdle, you will fall over the next one, and there are many hurdles. Some companies do this to new-hires: the boss says "here's your new computer. Come back in a week when you're done installing" and it you can't do it in a week, they get worried. If you do it in a day, they start asking questions.

There are many docker files in various states of disrepair.

Opencog is not one thing: it has many parts/pieces.  The atomspace is a foundational piece, most things are built on top of it. Work through the examples/tutorials in the /examples directory.

    Just looked it up thanks. So are you using ubuntu? It just seems
    like I always have to go get something to make something work then
    have to get something to make that work and on and on. Just
    installed Docker and I guess I need another terminal program to go
    with that...
    I will try those scrips in my ubuntu vm and see if that works. It
    just sounded like open cog was currently set up to work with Docker
    best?

    Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it. I have been excited
    about open cog for a long time and have finally committed to it.
    There is so much I want to do with it.
