<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I went to the link <a href="https://github.com/Kitware/VIAME" target="_blank">https://github.com/Kitwar<wbr>e/VIAME</a> and under the dropdown menu 'Clone or download' I chose Download ZIP to get a file named VIAME-master.zip (30 KB). Upon unarchiving to VIAME-master in my
home directory , I notice that folders ( kitware, fletch, scallops-tk) under packages were all empty. If I run the super-build on the command line in a terminal, I get the following error:<br>
