Part of the problem may be that the extension distribution scripts have not yet
been set up to work with git. For the old svg repository, we had an extension on
mediawiki.org where you could select the extension and desired version, and
would get a zip or tar archive. Many links still point that way, but it doesn't
work for extensions in git (or at least not for all of them, I don't know the
details).

Anyway. ULS is still experimental and under heavy development, so there are no
stable versions. You'll have to install it directly from git, and hope the
current master branch works for you.

@lydia: we should have an "install from gid" guide too... do we?

I don't think we do. We do have
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Setup that links
to mediawiki.org among others.
Lukas: Maybe you want to give the Vagrant setup linked there a try if
you're still having trouble after Daniel's explanation?
