I took a look at that but got to a point where, having done exactly as instructed I was not getting to the next stage described. The file names mentioned seemed out of date too so I was not sure the advice was still current.

I am now using a piece of software called DeepThought from Greenkeeper Software
http://www.greenkeepersoftware.com/deepThought/ . It avoids having to use the terminal at all which I feel a lot more comfortable not having to do. I have joined climate prediction and einstein projects. They seem to be doing something, though I have no stats yet. I assume as I have not been running them long enough.

IF YOU"RE ON A MAC I'd recommend Deep thought. Especially if you're a bit dumb ;-) though I have a background in Mac support so I dread to think how many people take one look at this project and just give up!

If you discover an answer to a problem it is helpfull to share the answer, rather than just let people know you found it!

Why is there not a proper installer? I would estimate 90% of potential users will have no idea what they are supposed to do with the downloaded file and the instruction 'chmod +x the executable and run it ' will mean nothing to them.

If anyone can let me know what I need to do I would be very grateful.
