Hi Tim Here are my notes on installing Pharo in a DigitalOcean Ubuntu droplet. I usually go thru a Windows Command prompt box having installed xfec4 in the ubuntu droplet, but the command line connect and graphical remote may be easier for a Linux users. my ssh public key is also in the DO droplet Now the first step for me is a installing Pharo launcher thru command line and then everything is thru graphical interface
Installing and checking Pharo-Launcher, Installing Pharo 8 64 bit from pharo.org (instructions as on Pharo.org) 1. In Windows 10 command prompt connect thru > ssh root@<Droplet-ip> 2. cd 3. curl -o pharo-launcher.zip -L https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/linux64 4. unzip pharo-launcher.zip or thru the GUI-> extract here (pharo-launcher files will be extracted in ./pharo-launcher) Now while connected to the linux graphical interface thru windows remote terminal and in the GUI 5. Create a icon on desktop thru right-click “Create Launcher” for pharo-launcher 6. Create pharo images thru pharo-launcher hope this is of use Sanjay Minni On Thu, 1 Apr 2021 at 16:31, Tim Mackinnon <tim@testit.works> wrote: > Hi everyone - its been a few year since I last hosted a little Pharo web > app - and the last time I did, Sven pointed me to DigitalOcean and creating > a tiny instance and configuring an Ubuntu server and then copying a pharo > image on to that.
