How to install UIBuilder on Pharo


I'm learning Smalltalk for my graduation (Computer Science), and got started using Pharo.

I've read and watched that there is a nice framework for UI building, called UIBuilder tool. But I'm confused on how to install it on Pharo.


Solution

  • Note that this unfortunately only works on old versions of Pharo.

    The install instructions are what the registration section gives e/g/

    In a transcript paste

    MCHttpRepository
        location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/UIBuilder'
        user: ''
        password: ''
    

    Select that and choose DoIt from the menu.

    This will then download the classes and install in the image. The tool that does this is Monticello for more on this see the Pharo By Example Monticello chapter
