Absence of a 'metagrid_config' file on fresh install breaks manage_metagrid.sh

[meteorologist15]

Describe the bug

Upon an initial/fresh 'git clone', the metagrid_configs directory only contains a "metagrid_config.tmpl" file, which ends up breaking the "manage_metagrid.sh" script at the first copy command.

To Reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/aims-group/metagrid.git
2. Within the metagrid directory, run 'manage_metagrid.sh'
3. Select option 1: "Configure Metagrid"
4. Error occurs: "cp: cannot stat 'metagrid_configs/metagrid_config': No such file or directory

Good catch, we should streamline that, just an extra block of bash would do the trick to copy the .tmpl file

if [ ! -f metagrid_config ] ; then
 cp metagrid_config.tmpl metagrid_config
fi

[meteorologist15]

Nice, or something like

if [ ! -f $METAGRID_CONFIG ] ; then
  cp $CONFIG_DIR/metagrid_config.tmpl $CONFIG_DIR/metagrid_config
fi

if running the script in the parent directory.

Add that the editor should be configurable as not all systems have emacs and no need to require that or any

one editor
