Pharo Install - A tool for installing Pharo Smalltalk packages.

PI is a MIT-pip-like command line application installer for Pharo Smalltalk. Copy & pasting install scripts is an easy method, but it’s also time consuming because of the manual interaction.

PI turns copy & paste Smalltalk (Metacello Configurations) install scripts into bash one-liners which works on Unix/Linux, MacOS and Windows (MinGW/MSYS). PI automatically tries to download necessary dependencies for parsing both SmalltalkHub and GitHub repositories lists, and also downloads the latest stable Pharo image and virtual machine if none is found in the current directory. It also supports installing multiple packages at once.

curl users:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hernanmd/pi/master/pi

wget users:

wget --no-cache --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hernanmd/pi/master/pi

Copy the executable script to a location included in the PATH environment variable:

chmod 755 pi
mv pi /usr/local/bin

• Listing packages supports GitHub and SmalltalkHub repositories.
• Installing packages is supported for:
  • Metacello Configurations from Catalog (command line handler: get)
  • SmalltalkHub (command line handler: config)
• It works with curl or wget.
• Supports case-insensitive searching for package names or developer user name.

• The "image" option defaults to the current Pharo "stable" version.
• Assume only one image in a directory. Future version will add support for multiple images.
• PI can query SmalltalkHub or GitHub.
  • Listing packages from GitHub is currently (work in progress) limited to 100 results.
• PI can install packages from SmalltalkHub (GitHub repositories is one the way).
• Package search is case-sensitive.
• For GitHub repositories:
  • If it has "pharo" as topic, it will be listed.
  • If jq (a command line JSON processor) is not available, it will be downloaded to the directory where pi was executed.
• For SmalltalkHub repositories:
  • If xmllint is not available, it will be downloaded to the directory where pi was executed.

Search both in SmalltalkHub and GitHub repositories:

If you experiment problems with pi, check first the versions of the following dependencies (copy & paste results when submitting an issue). PI is being developed in the following environment:
