Error while trying to run Pharo for the first time


I am trying to run Pharo on my system (Ubuntu 17.10 64bit).I followed the exact procedure as given in the book Pharo By Example.

I Went into the Pharo6.1-64 directory and ran the following command in the terminal

./pharo shared/pharo6.1-64.image

I expected this to open the Pharo window where I can write code but instead saw this error in the Terminal.

./pharo: line32: /home/user/pharo6.1-64/vm/pharo: No such file or directory.

Do I need to download any additional files ? I downloaded the zip from here and it said just extract and run.


Solution

  • Copy the pharo.image and pharo.changes to the directory containing the pharo executable and from terminal run the command

    Pharo_executable path_to_Pharo_image
