Setup Guide

System requirements

We officialy support only Squeak-5.1 and newer versions of Squeak.

Installation Instructions

We recommend to drag and drop the .sar-File into your image and then click "install sar file".

If you don't want to wait for the next release:

1. Make sure you have metacello-work installed.
2. Load the project by running the following in your workspace:

Metacello new
    baseline: 'Algernon';
    repository: 'github://HPI-SWA-Teaching/Algernon-Launcher:master/packages';
    onConflict: [:ex | ex allow];
    get;
    load

 If you have a version older than July 2020 you need to run the following code *instead*:

BaselineOfAlgernon compile: 'projectClass ^ Smalltalk at: #MetacelloCypressBaselineProject ifAbsent: [super projectClass]'.
[ Metacello new
    baseline: 'Algernon';
    repository: 'github://HPI-SWA-Teaching/Algernon-Launcher:cleanup/packages';
    onConflictUseIncoming;   
	get;
    load. ] on: MetacelloSkipDirtyPackageLoad do: [:ex | ex resume: false. ].
