Installing 9.1 on Linux/Ubuntu

Hi Richard,

Sorry, but I don't follow you. From the link you pasted, if I click on "Installing Standalone" then I am taken to this link: https://www.instantiations.com/docs/91/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=ig/instgdlx6.html

Right there you have all the information you need. Phrases like "Unzip the downloaded VA Smalltalk product installer."... and then:

"Change directories to the folder created by unzipping the documentation installer package. Then as root, or by using the sudo command, execute ./vainstall standalone."

I do know you very well know how to unzip on Linux, so I am not sure what do you mean. Would you like us to create an example like:

$ tar xvzf VASmalltalk-9.1.0x86-linux-deb.tar.gz

$ cd VASmalltalk-9.1.0x86-linux-deb

$ sudo ./vainstall standalone

?

Is that what you mean?

I'm finding the installation instructions have started with some assumptions that I don't know/understand.

Given that I have VASmalltalk-9.1.0x86-linux-deb.tar.gz somewhere, what I am required to do with it to get to the point that I can "Then run the installer by executing sudo ./vainstall"?

I'm starting from the documentation at https://www.instantiations.com/docs/91/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=ig/instgdlx1.html. It's a little shy on the initial steps.

Thanks!

Thanks, Mariano. That's part of it. I've looked in the file and it appears to have oaths starting at /use. So, it wasn't clear to me what tar would put where and which directory in the result to navigate to.

OK thanks Richard. I will open a case to improve this part of the documentation.

 

(I was assuming the instructions for the documentation would be similar to the ones for the product code.)

Which ones exactly? I mean, could you give me the link of the ones you were expected to be similar with?

Thanks!
