The Readme is not user friendly and doesn't explain how to use or install the software. In the Github issue the developer points to an installation documentation that throws a 404 error.

In my opinion, this source code was put out to appear "open" to the H2020 Programme, but they have no intention in actually helping users run the code locally.

Yeah, wow. This is one of the more aggressive examples of "open"-but-unrunnable I've ever seen. I think your opinion is dead on.

And if this isn't intentional, then the level of effort is so low how could you trust the software with such a complex and subtle problem? It is clearly intentional, but they didn't even give themselves a plausibly deniable story.
