Yes, that README is dead long time (for now you may find the one from Enterprise book more useful https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english/blob/master/README.md). We are working on a book workflow and will provide a better documentation soon. You need pdflatex to compile pdf from latex. Also you should check https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation to understand how pillar works. In 2 words: put your chapter in a dedicated dir in pillar-format file. Include it in pillar.conf file, then compile.sh will generate both html, latex, markdown versions for your chapter and a book with all chapters.

Feel free to ask for more.

Well I am more than happy to help, I am even willing to add some new Chapters especially for newcomers and non coders as I have done already with my video tutorials and of course port the existing chapters to Pharo 3

I love Pharo I want to see it succed especially with non pro coders like me. For that good documentation is a must have.

Ok now I need to get this started, I try to compile the book but it complains that i dont have pdflatex.

So how this works ? 

Have you made a guide about people like me that are not familiar with Pier or Latex or whatelse is used ?

if not are there any links I should be looking at ?

Do I need to learn latex or Pier syntax is enough ?

Also your links to the sample pier file is dead as are the other links too. 

If you can help me get started I am more than willing to help you expand the Pharo documentation 

Lets do this :)

Yuriy thanks for the advice I have command line tools because I am building Blender the 3d open source app on my iMac. I tried before installing wget with homebrew it failed too.

There is some black magic with wget. I think you have to install command line tools which get uninstalled on every update. Also if I remember correctly, I�ve installed it with home-brew.

Thank you Yuriy 

I have tried to follow the installation instructions before on my iMAC but I was not successful installing wget. I tried building wget myself and it failed with errors, I tried using a binary of wget that I found online that failed too. 

But I will give it another try today when I get home where my macs are and share with you the exact errors I am experiencing.

Hi.

Here is a repo for updated version of Pharo by example https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/UpdatedPharoByExample and it should be done in Pillar.

I�ve added you to the team, so feel free to contribute.
