How do I run Pharo?
If you are not familiar with Smalltalk application internals try one of our one-click deployments if available. This hides the application structure into a single-executable for your platform. If a one-click is not available, or you want to run a development build, read on. Smalltalk applications are usually distributed as an ‘image’ and a virtual machine (VM) for your platform. The image contains the application in a platform independent format and the VM executes it. Drag and drop the image onto the VM and it should run. Whilst Pharo is in active development, you will see new images published frequently. You can download these to track changes. The VM should only change for major features or bug fixes. For more background on Smalltalk/Squeak please read Squeak By Example or ask on the mailing-list.
