Hello Sir,
I was trying to install Einstein Toolkit with the reference to the steps
provided in the github page "
https://github.com/einsteintoolkit/jupyter-et/blob/master/tutorial-server/notebooks/CactusTutorial.ipynb
"... Its downloaded successfully upto step:  "*Configuring SimFactory for
your machine*" but at the last step: "*Building the Einstein Toolkit*" with
a command
"*%%bash*
*./simfactory/bin/sim build -j2 --thornlist thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th
<http://einsteintoolkit.th>*" there is a problem every time i try to run
it. I am trying to install it from the last 5-6 days. I even tried to have
some help from ChatGPT but not able to fix it up. I am using ubuntu
virtually in my window 11.

The Error shows:
"*make[1]: *** [/home/anisha/Cactus/Cactus/lib/make/make.configuration:150:
/home/anisha/Cactus/Cactus/exe/cactus_sim] Error 1*
*make: *** [Makefile:265: sim] Error 2*"

And while running the sample code of hello world the output is :
"*Warning: Current Working directory does not match Cactus sourcetree,
changing to /home/anisha/Cactus/Cactus*


*Parameter file:
/home/anisha/Cactus/arrangements/CactusExamples/HelloWorld/par/HelloWorld.parError:
Executable /home/anisha/Cactus/Cactus/exe/cactus_sim for configuration sim
does not exist or is not readable*
*Aborting Simfactory.*".... obviously because kit isn't installed
successfully.

I have attached the copy of my notebook in the pdf format for your
reference.

I greatly appreciate your help.

with regards,
Anisha Sharma
