Download and Install Files

• Download Pier-2.0-OneClick.zip from http://www.piercms.com/download
• As root, unzip/mount the archive, create the web directory:

cd /srv mkdir /srv/site

Copy to the /srv/site folder the following files [from Pier.app/Contents/Resources]:

pier.image,

pier.changes,

files/ folder,

PharoV10.sources

• if you are using a gui you can chmod 777 site (to allow you to copy and paste), just don't forget to chmod 644 afterward.
• Recursively chown the web dir:

chown -R www-data:www-data site

First run

The instructions say:

you can run the image headless by using the following bash script:
