First, great work and thanks to all contributors.

Using macOS Big Sur version 11.4 on MacBook Air 2019...

1. In a new sub-directory "pharo9" (I was using a pharo8 directory, so
pharo9 is to keep things separate). In pharo9, I used "curl -L
https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash" to get the latest release. Then I
ran ./pharo-ui to start Pharo. Very strangely, it was able to present
my pharo8 images to choose for opening. I quit without choosing any
image, then went looking to find out how it was able to find the
settings. In the course of that, I realized the default download had
got me the 8.0 release.

2. Then I used "curl https://get.pharo.org/90+wm | bash". The image
came up with a strange looking dialog across the top that indicated
freetype font lib's could not be loaded. I just proceeded and was able
to navigate somewhat. The Settings for fonts were completely absent. I
kept browsing, but more freetype font problems kept appearing.

3. I then compared the dylib's in the pharo-vm (what I had in pharo8)
vs. what I just got in pharo9 - very different lists. I copied the
libfreetype.6.dylib, libfreetype.dylib, and libFT2Plugin.dylib files
to the new vm, and then the Pharo9 image came up nicely.

4. I thought I was home free, and continued browsing. I happened to
look at the Pillar-Core code, and I got "Cannot locate
libcairo.2.dylib". Browsing a few other places did not show this
problem. That's it for now. I will try a bit more later, but I'm going
back to  Pharo8 for today.
