Hey ! I am a newbie and just started with Pharo two months back under the guidance of Mr. Sean DeNigris and Mr. Martin Bahr. I have installed Pharo VM on Windows 8 and PharoLauncher on Ubuntu 14.04 and didn't receive much difficulty apart from installing PharoLauncher on Windows 8 (which I am not able to still). It would be great if I could contribute to this issue of 'Cleaning Download Instructions for Pharo 4.0' by providing a beginners' perspective to Pharo and its installation. Any suggestions on how can I help ? Thanks and Regards Jigyasa Grover On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 10:50 PM, stepharo <stepharo@free.fr> wrote:

We should pay special attention to those feedbacks, otherwise we'll be always "preaching to the choir".
We handled two out of three of the poster's difficulties: 1. Nuke one-click in favor of platform-specific downloads 2. Add a warning about the 32-bit lib requirement to the download to the README
However... I tried installing on Ubuntu and Debian from the perspective of a new user based on the instructions at http://pharo.org/download and they are a shambles! Very confusing and incomplete.
Two requests: - some clarifications and changes are straightforward and non-controversial. Will someone give me access to edit the website directly? - for the rest, and things I'm not sure about, I created https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps/blob/master/ DownloadInstructions.md to keep track of things that need to be changed
I also created Issue 15328: "Clean up Download Instructions before 4.0 Release" https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15328 which references the roadmap
