Hi there. I am currently using v8.0 on a new M1 MacBookAir. When I save
the image I keep getting a message telling me that my VM is too old and to
download a new one. I have looked in my Pharo Launcher but there is no new
one there. What do I do please?

Hi David,

for M1 we have Pharo 9 compatible VMs, you can download them using Zero Conf or directly. 

For the latest:

• wget -O - https://get.pharo.org/vmLatest90 https://get.pharo.org/vmLatest90 | bash
• http://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-latest.zip http://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-latest.zip

For the stable:

• wget -O - https://get.pharo.org/vm90 https://get.pharo.org/vm90 | bash
• http://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-stable.zip http://files.pharo.org/get-files/90/pharo-vm-Darwin-arm64-stable.zip

If you are scripting the download I recommend using ZeroConf.

For Pharo 8, we don't have a M1 native version, because Pharo 8 requires changes in the image to support the newer VMs. We have plans to backport the changes in the future, now we are putting all efforts in the release of Pharo 9. However, if the community consider it, we can switch priorities but it is not magical; we will need to leave something aside. Also, future versions of the Pharo Launcher will have support for detecting the architecture.

In the meantime, Pharo 8 / 9 can be used without a problem with Rossetta, although the performance is not ideal.

Tell me if you have any problem.
Cheers,
Pablo

You start an image by typing the following in the Terminal

./pharo-ui Pharo.image

I am sorry but, being a newbie to Pharo, a lot of what you say goes over
my head.

How do I use Zero Conf?

I have loaded up the latest 9.0 from Pharo launcher. How do I get the <1
VM for that?

Sorry for being stupid.
