Installing Pier on Ubuntu

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

Installing Pier on Ubuntu
Organic Design procedure

Download and Install Files

sudo su

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

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!
