I don't understand what you've done, at all. "cloned"? ".doinstall"?
"native directory"?

I see that the README at the link above (in fact like most of my
READMEs) might be thought to be less than clear; perhaps the very first
thing should be the Install section. It says

   Download the binary .pkg. It's not signed, so don't double-click on
   it; instead, right-click on it and Open. Accept the warning. You will
   be guided through the installation.

It should also say that "the binary .pkg" is to be found by scrolling to
the bottom of the page.
