==Instructions==

Documentation for the [http://www.einsteintoolkit.org Einstein Toolkit] is a community effort and everyone is encouraged to contribute towards these pages. You need to login to the wiki to edit the documentation, to do this either

* if you already have a personal LDAP login with the CCT use this
* create you own login/password for the wiki (select local domain)

If you would like to make major changes to these pages please discuss first on the users@einsteintoolkit.org mail list.

Thanks for your contributions!

Simplified Tutorial for New Users

Dcastl2:

Here you will find a concise and straightforward guide to downloading, installing, and running the Einstein Toolkit. For a more detailed tutorial, view the [[Tutorial for New Users]].

==Prerequisites==

You will need git installed in order to download the Einstein Toolkit components, and if you follow the instructions in this tutorial, you'll want wget as well. On a Debian- or Fedora-based system, install them as follows:

apt-get install git wget # Debian
yum install git wget # Fedora

==Downloading==

A script called GetComponents is used to fetch the components of the Einstein Toolkit. You may download it as follows:

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/raw/ET_2011_05/GetComponents
chmod 755 GetComponents

GetComponents accepts a thorn list as an argument. To check out the needed components:

./GetComponents -a http://mojave.cct.lsu.edu/thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th

This checks out Cactus, the Einstein Toolkit, and Simulation Factory.

==Configuring==

You may proceed to configure Simfactory:

cd Cactus
./simfactory/bin/sim setup

Enter the default values.

==Building==

Now that you have configured Simfactory, you may build:

./simfactory/bin/sim build --thornlist=manifest/einsteintoolkit.th

This may take a while, as it compiles all the thorns specified in manifest/einsteintoolkit.th.

==Running==
