Thanks for the prompt answer. I did what you wrote, but I still get the same error.
I am trying to install ET on a Ubuntu 16.04 machine, could it be a problem?

Hello Villani,
I am trying to install Einstein ToolKit on my laptop following these instructions:
https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/nds-org/jupyter-et/blob/master/CactusTut...
but I run into errors when using the (last) command:
./simfactory/bin/sim build --mdbkey make'make -j2' --thornlist ../einsteintoolkit.th
it seems that the computer cannot find the file
~/Cactus/configs/sim/config-data/make.thornlist
what do I do?
If you typed this in exactly as quoted, ie:
./simfactory/bin/sim build --mdbkey make'make -j2' ...
then please note that there should be a space " " between the "make" and "'make -j2'" strings. Otherwise the shell will combine them.
I would not have expected such a mistake to cause this kind of behaviour though so that may well not be it.
I am not quite sure what could have caused this other than maybe some glitch on the file system.
To check this I would try and start from scratch which you can do by entering the following:
!rm -r ~/Cactus/configs/sim
into a cell and execute it. This completely removes the partially build Cactus executable and you can start from scratch.
Yours, Roland
