Hello Otacilio, Ian, all,
There is another tutorial in development which can be used with your own machine, but it is currently described as incomplete.
Roland: is the new tutorial ready for new users at the moment?
I wrote it by stripping down the .bash_history file of the user account where I entered the commands. So it *should* work as it is. It assumes that you start from a plain vanilla system hence the apt-get commands at the top. If you already have a C, C++ and fortran compiler as well git,svn set up then you should also be able to use it. I do not know if the fedora.cfg file will work or not. I only tested the Debian and Mint instructions (the later might also work for Ubuntu). The tutorial is for the release version (Lovelace from May 2012).
The URL is:
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Simplified_Tutorial_for_New_Users
it's a wiki page and accepts anonymous edits (you do not need an account) so please feel free to edit the page if there are still mistakes.
Yours, Roland
