May be the class name could be changed a little bit to allow more flexibility using the Pharo Quick Start as a base. Something like "Greeter" and "Greeter new say: 'Hello world!'" or "Greeter new sayIt" could be implemented from there. Nice to see more and more documentation around Pharo, including this one. That being said, I have always felt that hello world is kind of a strange introduction to programming: http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/dumb-hello-world Cheers, Offray On 07/12/17 15:31, horrido wrote:

Yes, it's a definite improvement. Thanks.

Excellent work, Richard!
May I offer the small criticism against using #initialize for the method name? I think a name like #sayIt (for example) and invocation like "Hello new sayIt" would make it explicit.
This will be a great help for people who drop by out of curiosity.

Feedback welcome.
Note that I chose wget instead of curl because many Linux distros do not have curl installed.
I've tested the guide for various Linux distros including Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu-based), Debian 9.2.1, Manjaro 17.0.6 (Arch-based), Solus 3, and Fedora 27. So it should be good for all the popular distros (Top 10).
