First of all: sorry for the large amount of out-of-date documentation on ATL. There is usually also more up-to-date documentation available on the wiki, but all the old documentation is left behind as well. Also, as is often the case, we developers focus on keeping ATL working rather than maintaining its documentation. We find there's too little time for the latter, and we often rely on our "power users" to help out. Pointing out "expired" documentation is a great start, thanks . Now for your questions:
You can install ATL via its Eclipse update site at https://eclipse.org/atl/downloads/
You will not need to check out ATL from git unless you intend to change ATL's source code. That said, ATL's git repo can be found at http://git.eclipse.org/c/mmt/org.eclipse.atl.git/about/
Finally, ATL works directly with EMF metamodels (as .ecore file and as generated EMF plugins). KM3 is a just front-end textual language, similar to emfatic, xcore, and OCLInEcore, for developing metamodels, and you must generate a .ecore file from it before ATL can use it. If you're comfortable working with EMF/Ecore directly, that's the way to go. The ATL tutorial is still relatively well up-to-date, and you should be able to run through that. Let us know if you're running into any problems!
Cheers,
Dennis
