If you are working with Mac and Gnu/Linux, your quick start could start by:

1. Create the folder for your Pharo program, download it and Launch it. For that, open your Terminal and type:

```
mkdir -p ~/Programs/Pharo/
cd ~/Programs/Pharo/
curl get.pharo.org/64/ | bash
./pharo-ui Pharo.image

```

You only need 2 and 4 steps to relaunch Pharo, once installed, but Mac and several variants of Gnu/Linux offer a quick launcher for running programs.

Is not the smoothest intro to Pharo, but is not a big issue either and in that way you can continue your guide knowing that readers in Linux and Mac have a working Pharo System.

Hope this helps,

I've encountered another issue, this time with the macOS download...

After I download the zip file, I unzip the file and move the Pharo
application to the Applications folder. Then I have to right-click on the
Pharo application and select open (double-clicking prevents me from opening
the file at all). This last step fails (Pharo crashes), but if I repeat it,
it works.

Thereafter, I may double-click to open the file anytime.

I can't add these instructions to my Pharo Quick Start guide without
sounding like an ass. I shall have to wait until all download issues are
resolved before I can complete the guide.
