Hi Guille - I’m not using Arch Linux myself - this was a seasoned exercism contributor trying to give pharo a spin - and sadly it hasn’t gone well (shame as they might have been an advocate) They also commented:
"I'm not quite sure though if I really want to continue from here. As someone new to pharo, I basically can't find any installation instructions that go beyond that evil `curl`. I'm happy to play this to the end with you, that at least exercism gets proper instructions, but the pharo community really should change their mind and provide more and better documentation about systemwide installation and packages. I have a hard time seeing something used at my compnay that does not provide an RPM out of the box…” Which is fair play. However I did get some details which might salvage something (and maybe they can try) Its ArchLinux (apparently there are no versions in Arch, its always the latest). Pharo wa installed via AUR (looks like a bit old - 2019-01-24 18:18) - not sure that is the issue though AUR does give an image so they downloaded the latest 64 bit one from here - https://files.pharo.org/image/70/ Libgit2 was missing - that was installed (not clear on how - could ask) After all of this - it did launch - they saw a welcome screen then it crashed (I think they were doing our eval string to metacello load exercism - so it would then use libgit2) They then got this error: https://pastebin.com/W2D86ZS4 I’ve pasted the error below - for prosperity.
