   Hi James,

   Did you run the boostrap script? This should generate a configure. If you are seeing errors, can you paste them here? Thanks,

   -NM

   I was able to get it installed without any errors, the issue was more aimed at the inaccurate documentation.

   I'm probably being daft, but I don't follow what you mean by inaccurate documentation. Can you give me a pointer to what did not work for you?

   No worries. The online documentation doesn't mention the bootstrap script or the configure script. So immediately running make like it says just results in make saying it has nothing to do. If this information is listed somewhere else, let me know.

   In case anyone else has this issue, the bootstrap and configure scripts are referred to in the MASA README:

   ------------------
   TO BUILD:
   ------------------
   
   1) ./bootstrap (from source, ignore if this is a release tarball)
   2) ./configure --prefix= top-level dir
   3) make
   4) make install
   
   It is recommended that new users run 'make check' This runs numerous diagnostic
   tests, which ensure the precision of all associated solutions are at minimum,
   1e-15.
   

   (I believe the install instructions on the github.io website at http://manufactured-solutions.github.io/MASA/install.html are out of date)
