Why don't the Zero Conf examples show how to launch Pharo?
Hi - I was wondering why the command line section on the http://pharo.org/web/download <http://pharo.org/web/download> page, doesnât show you how to then launch the app you have just downloaded? Iâm not sure if there is a way to do it all on one line (I tried && ./pharo-ui Pharo.image - but this doesnât work). However I think the website example should at least have: # then run it ./pharo-ui Pharo.image Otherwise we make it harder for people to figure out what to do with the program weâve pointed them to? Tim
Actually - I think its as simple as just adding && ./pharo-ui Pharo.image To the shown command? (Although maybe showing it as 2 steps makes it clearer that you donât need to download each time) Tim

I'm currently putting together suggested text for the GNU/Linux download page. In addition to showing how to launch Pharo, I'm also suggesting: - Putting 32 bit first (it's currently safer for a newcomer) - Moving new platforms to the top and older platforms lower in order - Removing reference to Ubuntu 12.04 since it is no longer supported. If you've got any other suggestions, please let me know and I'll be happy to incorporate them. Cheers, Alistair
