I've done a fresh installation of layup and all dependencies on linux. Everything works well. I've made some small edits to the installation instructions.

One thing I noticed: On my cluster, the home directory is on a different partition than the "big" data partition. I think this is a fairly common setup. Currently, if I create a virtual environment with layup on the data partition, then it still writes almost half the data to my home partition, i.e. ~1.6G of files to ~/.cache/layup. In my opinion it would be nice to keep all of layup's files within the directory it is installed in. But I understand that the ~/.cache approach is kind of a standard thing to do... So I don't know. Not a big issue, I guess.

You can specify with the bootstrap utility where you want the files that normally go into ~/.cache and in all of the layup verbs there is an --ar which allows you to specify where the cache files are if they're not in the usual place. I think that does what you want @hannorein
