All the information is in the Getting started section of the Open Atrium site:
The process of installing Atrium is very similar to installing Drupal. Please follow the Drupal installation instructions but choose the Atrium Installer rather than the default Drupal install profile when you are prompted during the installer.
The instructions "Please follow the Drupal installation instructions but choose the Atrium Installer rather than the default Drupal install profile when you are prompted during the installer" make it sound like I should follow the Drupal installation instructions, which say to download Drupal.
But I unzipped the Atrium install files and they look just like the Drupal files. In fact the INSTALL.txt doesn't even say anything about Open Atrium. This leads me to guess that Open Atrium is a Drupal installation with some (many) extra features. It would be helpful if this was stated somewhere in the installation instructions. Something like "The Open Atrium install package includes Drupal. Install as you would Drupal, but choose the Atrium Installer rather than the default Drupal install profile when you are prompted during the installer."
Thanks, I finally managed to locate that issue queue after struggling with the seemingly broken one at github.com, which is linked to at the top of this group page. Drupal shows me the world through the eyes of the simple-minded, but it's what my company uses :)

This should probably be a ticket in community.openatrium.com if you expect the developers to update the documentation
