Hi bonami,

I did not know where to put my own code. MyApps is not automatically created in home dir. and code cannot be under two layer of directories under it.

I inspected and tested the first run of theide severel times and I think there is nothing wrong with it. When theide starts and the wizard is dismissed by clicking on "Finish" (so accepting all the defaults), it creates all the usual assemblies (uppsrc, examples, bazaar, tutorial and MyApps). $HOME/.upp/theide is created to hold the configuration and sources are copied to $HOME/upp/. You are right, that the MyApps directory is not created initially, but that is not a problem. It is created when you create first package in the MyApps assembly.

I don't really understand the part "code cannot be under two layer of directories under it", what did you mean by that?

"Setup"->"Source Management"->"Next" shows it, though "Next" was not available for me till I switched options back and forth.

The only reason why "Next" can be hidden is when you select "Manual settings [experts only]". Could it be that you selected that when you run it first time? In this mode, it does nothing and expects the user to set up the source code directories, assemblies and other stuff manually.
