resolved (was open)

There are instructions at https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users for users to configure simfactory for common operating systems when their machine is not recognised by SimFactory. This logic should be implemented in sim setup instead, so that users can use the ET out of the box on supported OSes.

Comment (by Roland Haas):

Simfactory's setup-silent, together with the instructions in the tutorial https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/nds-org/jupyter-et/blob/master/CactusTutorial.ipynb are now sufficient to make the ET compile and run on common OS, ie various flavouors of GNU/Linux as well as OSX+MacPorts.

OSX+Homebrew is not currently supported by the ET.
