This the same thing actually. For MacOS it is a bit cumbersome. You can start the vm with

./Pharo.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo

OK, so the distribution format has changed from Pharo 7?

No it doesn���t :)
What you are getting looks like an error that happen when you try to execute zeroconf on top of an already existing zeroconf. 

Can you try it on a clean directory?

What I got
before is a directory "pharo-vm" containing Pharo.app, plus two
scripts "pharo" and "pharo-ui" that facilitate execution from the
command line.

If the distribution format has indeed changed, then there's a bug in the
script that unpacks the zip file, and the documentation on
http://get.pharo.org/ is outdated as well. So my question remains the
same: what's the best way to report such bugs?
