Making Cactus installable like any other Ubuntu package has several obvious benefits:

  • HPC centres can install Cactus, ensuring it is available by default in many places
  • Beginners have an easy way to get started, which may be even simpler than our current download instructions
  • Cactus would not seem "strange" and "different" any more; the notion would shift from "putting things _into_ Cactus" to "using Cactus", which is what it should be
