I'm new to dealii, and I followed the ReadMe file to download and install
dealii 8.4.1 without any success. Specifically, when I executed the third line
in terminal, an error "The source directory
"/Users/John/documents/dealii-8.4.1/build/deal.II" does not exist" came up. In
fact, when I checked, I found that build is an empty folder. Could you please
help? Thanks!

mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/dir ../deal.II
  make install
  make test

Well, does the directory exist? Where did you create the 'build' directory? Parallel to the directory into which you unpacked deal.II?

You will also want to replace /path/to/install/dir by a directory of your 
choice.
