various small issues after git-clone, compile, run tests about golem HOT 2 CLOSED

First of all, thanks for your feedback Knut!
Glad to hear that "most" of the installation went smooth for you and I appreciate that you took the time to go through all the installation process.

1. Concerning your first point, the error that you get is not that bad.
   During the run_test script, we run a suite of simple simulations with the local installation and then compare the results produced with some "gold" results which are stored in the repository. The error that you get is meaning that the simulations ran fine but that there are some differences between the results produced by your installation and the gold results (EXODIFF error).
   I noticed that this test was leading to this error last week on my installation as well after I updated my MOOSE environment. I will try to investigate the issue and fix it.

2. Indeed, the input files from the paper are not in the repository yet. We are finalizing an online documentation (which can be built on the fly) which contains additional information about the input files and will push everything to the repository together. I hope to have it done by the end of the year...

3. You are definitively right. MOOSE is installing its own python environment and it can mess with an existing Python environment. I had problems myself some time ago. I will add a note concerning this in the README file.

Thanks again for your feedback and your time, I really appreciate it.
Cheers,

Yes that one test had only a tiny error; and I have commented out the modifications of the .bashrc files.

One more idea, or rather a suggestion, I had was: Maybe it would be convenient to offer Moose and your app packaged together, as a Docker container. But then you need a download site (a registry) and documentation for that....

MOOSE seems to be a really powerful software. unfortunately I don't have the time to dive deeper into this subject matter, so I'll close this issue here.
