Cuis installation instructions in Git repo issue

Hi Folks,

Hello.  I was trying to follow the instructions in the readme.md file in
the git repo (I am using Xubuntu 14.04 32-bit linux):

mkdir CuisDevelopment
cd CuisDevelopment
git clone https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev.git
Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/bin/newImage.sh MyProject

The final line fails.  newImage.sh is not marked as an executable
(copyImage.sh is also not an executable, but getCog.sh is).  I chmod'ed
it, but it still fails with 'Image directory already exists'.

getCog.sh also fails (probably a version number issue) with tar: 'This
does not look like a tar archive'

Juan, you may want to take a look at it when you get a chance.  As they
say, you only have one chance to make a first impression...

Thanks

I'm not a real Linux user, so I need your help. I need you all Linux users to review our setup instructions, and the ways for installing and running an appropriate VM for Cuis. Please send to the list your recipes for setting up a VM, including possible required libraries, etc. It could be Eliot's Cog, squeakVM.org, or Pharo's. Any VM that runs is ok. Send your instructions, specifying your Linux flavor and word size (32/64).

Or just check the instructions on GitHub, fix them, send pull requests, etc.

Most likely, I broke Unix file attributes while updating some file in Windows. A pull request from Linux should fix it.

Please help me make the Cuis experience on Linux as smooth as it is on Windows and Mac OS.

Thanks!
Juan Vuletich

I usually use a locally compiled VM on my PC (personal preference), but
any of the VMs from squeakvm.org.unix (interpreter VM) or
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/ (Cog) are fine. The VM included
in the latest Squeak download is good also.

A VM installed from Ubuntu is not so good. This is not a supported Squeak
VM and it has problems on a 64-bit system for sure. I can't say if it works
on a 32-bit Ubuntu.
