Hi all, 
I am trying to install RevBayes for TensorPhylo following the README instructions. I get all the way to the installation step and then it fails. This is the log.txt contents:

It seems it is having an issue because I downloaded the zip file in the README instructions, but it is looking for a cloned repository. The cloned repository, however, does not have an installer folder like the instructions say to use. How do I resolve this?
