Hi, looking at the commands I see sudo snap install --dangerous --devmode pharo-vm_6.0_amd64.snap Does this mean that: 1. snap has to be already installed in the system 2. root priviledges are required for installing snaps The first requirement is eyebrow-raising (considering the install instructions are more complex than for pharo-vm), and both first and second requirement makes me think this is not for end-user consumers, but for e.g. remote deployment or something like that. My use case is a system where I don't have root but I want to run pharo (e.g. school computers, customers), so I would like to know if this can help me in any way. (Right now I circumvent root with dynamic linking... but it's half-assed, and not really tested cross-distro). Thanks, Peter On Fri, Jan 13, 2017 at 11:50:23AM +0100, Guillermo Polito wrote:
Hi all,
Just wanted to share this:
https://github.com/guillep/pharo-snapcraft
It is basically the code to generate a snap package of the pharo-vm using snapcraft. Using this, the VM is generated and packaged with all dependencies. This should help in running pharo in different linux distributions.
I invite you to check it, report problems and submit fixes.
Cheers, Guille
