==Prerequisites==
 
 
 
You will need a number of packages installed in order to download the Einstein Toolkit components, and if you follow the instructions in this tutorial. On a Debian, Linux-Mint or Fedora-based system, install them as follows:
 
 
 
# Debian
 
su apt-get install build-essential g++ gfortran libmpich2-dev mercurial git subversion curl gnuplot
 
# Mint13 (likely Ubuntu oneiric ocelot as well)
 
sudo apt-get install libmpich2-dev gfortran g++ git mercurial subversion curl gnuplot
 
# Fedora (incomplete)
 
yum install git wget
 
 
 
==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==
