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

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

Cheers,
Sean
