After your talk at #wcsf I decided to give WordPress Skeleton a try. I have a local version of a LEMP stack running. I realized that I needed to get the WP files (since they weren't there) so I cloned them from the latest.tar.gz file. I then went to set up local-config.php to my local server's mysql credentals.

When I go to setup the install, it cannot find /wp-admin/install.php because it's located in /wp/wp-admin/install.php. If I go to the ladder and set up WordPress, it works, but now the site is accesable at localhost/parkers and localhost/parkers/wp and I can only log in at the /wp/wp-admin url.

I feel like I am missing something big, but I cannot see it from the instructions set in the README. I'd appreciate any help.

Hey, friend! Don't know if you ever figured this out, but here's a comment from another issue on the Repo that could solve your problem (it solved mine!).
