 I have started with a fresh checkout of SimFactory and am using 'sim
 setup' to setup my local machine. In doing so, I have encountered a couple
 of issues:

 1. If I choose to "Update keys for a specific machine", then it
 continually asks me for a key name and value. It is not clear how to end
 this process. I guessed that just pressing enter when asked for a key name
 would work and it seems to have. It would be good to make this clearer,
 though.

 2. After updating keys for a specific machine, I am prompted to update
 keys for a specific machine again. If I enter "yes", I am given the
 Continue prompt a second time and must enter "yes" again.

 3. After the above process, the prompt to Save contents is shown twice.

 4. The setup of the new local machine entry is automated, but not
 sufficient to actually use. For example, the basedir entry points to
 /home/@USER/simulations which doesn't necessarily exist (on OSX, for
 example). Maybe there should be either a message saying to edit the new
 machine file or an interactive setup process?
