Hi,
I have expanded the page
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Compiling_the_Einstein_Toolkit
to be a general page on how to compile the ET, including the different cases of
i) A supported cluster;
ii) A supported or unsupported OS on a laptop or workstation; and
iii) An unsupported cluster.
The latter is of course incomplete since is it complex. There are obvious
places in which people could add more information.
Some of the information on
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users is
now duplicated; we could use a MediaWiki template page and include it on both
pages, or we could link to the compilation page from the tutorial page. The
main duplication is the table of optionlists etc for supported
workstation/laptop operating systems. This could actually be removed
completely if "sim setup" knew how to choose these.
There are many unsatisfactory aspects to the whole process, and it is likely to
be intimidating for new users. It would be good to streamline this by actually
thinking about a new user who is trying to do all of this for the first time,
and seeing if simfactory or the instructions could make things easier.
Please take a look and feel free to improve it.
