I could be wrong but since pharolauncher on macos is a mac app then you will need to change the vm inside the pharo.app folder, in pharo.app/Contents/MacOS

I wanted to use a newer vm with PharoLauncher,
so I added a vms directory in
/Users/stephan/Library/Application Support/Pharo/
and used
curl get.pharo.org/vmLatest50 | bash
to install it there.
In PharoLauncher I then set the vm full path to either
/Users/stephan/Library/Application
Support/Pharo/vms/pharo-vm/Pharo.app/Contents/MacOS/pharo
or
/Users/stephan/Library/Application Support/Pharo/vms/pharo-vm/Pharo.app

Neither works to launch an image (Mac 10.10.5).
The similar procedure on Ubuntu 15.04 works (though the apt dependencies
of SDL2/Cairo/Freetype:i386 are somewhat broken).

What is the vm path supposed to be?
