Pharo is under active development towards a stable and maintained release. You are welcome to download one of our release candidate images.

When downloads are completed, uncompress all files and put them into the same directory (this directory should then contain a .image, .changes, and a .sources file). Then start the VM. We plan to provide "one-click" images that contain all required files and hence are easier to use. We already have a windows installer (see below).

These links always point to latest Virtual Machines (VMs) for each system. Version numbers must not be compared across systems because each VM is released independently.

Platform dependent installers - but all in one (VM, image, source, ...) and ready to run

PharoCore is the image that we are working on. The official Pharo image (see above), which adds development tools and other often used packages, is built from it. PharoCore can be updated through an "update stream". To automatically load new updates, in the world menu select: System -> Software update.

You probably don't need these images unless you want a minimal image to deploy on a server or you are a PharoCore developer.
