Comment (by eschnett):
I don't think that setting it to $HOME will work. Simfactory will look at this directory in Python code, and there is nothing that expands $HOME to the corresponding environment variable. There is a syntax for accessing environment variables maybe @ENV[HOME]@; you could try this. We then also need to check that Simfactory expands this wherever it is used.
The current Kraken setting is "/nics/a/proj/cactus/@USER@/xt5", which is probably not a good default, as it is specific to the LSU relativity group and our collaborators. If someone confirms that using the home directory works for checking out and building the default Einstein Toolkit thornlist, then let's change this.
