The instructions on the Pier site are a bit terse, so I'm recording my actions to get Pier up and running.

Organic Design procedure

Download and Install Files

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:
  • I'm not exactly sure what is meant by 'headless(-ly) but I think it has something to do with Apache, in the next section. I wasn't expecting to get into installing apache. I thought the image would be a complete webserver!
