Hi - I was wondering why the command line section on the http://pharo.org/web/download page, doesn’t show you how to then launch the app you have just downloaded?
I’m not sure if there is a way to do it all on one line (I tried && ./pharo-ui Pharo.image - but this doesn’t work). However I think the website example should at least have: # then run it ./pharo-ui Pharo.image Otherwise we make it harder for people to figure out what to do with the program we’ve pointed them to?

Actually - I think its as simple as just adding
&& ./pharo-ui Pharo.image To the shown command? (Although maybe showing it as 2 steps makes it clearer that you don’t need to download each time) Tim

In addition to showing how to launch Pharo, I'm also suggesting: - Putting 32 bit first (it's currently safer for a newcomer) - Moving new platforms to the top and older platforms lower in order - Removing reference to Ubuntu 12.04 since it is no longer supported. If you've got any other suggestions, please let me know and I'll be happy to incorporate them.
