Hi everyone,

New here, encouraged (from Discord) to try my questions here.

I���m struggling to get AWS to run in an Ubuntu AWS instance.  I tried following the directions here: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/DeploymentWeb/DeployForProduction.html but I was getting some error about threads and configurations that I simply didn���t understand. Then I tried using Pharo-snap: https://github.com/akgrant43/pharo-snap

Pharo-snap made some of the config problems go away, but when I try starting Pharo on AWS, I get:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-16-17:~$ ./pharo Pharo-sea-roa-sound.image

Usage: [<subcommand>] [--help] [--copyright] [--version] [--list] [ --no-quit ]

--help       print this help message

--copyright  print the copyrights

--version    print the version for the image and the vm

--list       list a description of all active command line handlers

--no-quit    keep the image running without activating any other command line handler

--deploymentPassword   if a password needs to be used by the user to launch the command

--readWriteAccessMode, --readOnlyAccessMode, --writeOnlyAccessMode, --disabledAccessMode

            specify disk access mode, read-write mode as default

<subcommand> a valid subcommand in --list

Preference File Modification:

--preferences-file   load the preferences from the given <FILE>

--no-default-preferences    do not load any preferences from the default locations

Documentation:

A PharoCommandLineHandler handles default command line arguments and options.

The PharoCommandLineHandler is activated before all other handlers. 

It first checks if another handler is available. If so it will activate the found handler.

Clearly, I���m doing something wrong, but don���t know what the next step is, since there isn���t an explicit error message.

Can someone point a newbie towards the appropriate next steps?

Thanks!
