Thank you Michael for your encouragement to just try it.

1) Add http repository www.squeaksource.com/OMeta in the Monticello Browser

2a) Load the package 'OMeta2-preload'
2b) Load the package 'OMeta2'
2c) Load the package 'OMeta2-postload'

3) Evaluate the example
OMeta2Examples match: 3 with: #fact

I did this in the image http://ftp.squeak.org/trunk/Squeak4.2-10382-alpha.zip

Thank to Hans-Martin Mosner, I assume for making this a very smooth experience.

Follow up question to Casey: Where do you get your JavaScript interpreter from?

===================

www.squeaksource.com/OMeta2 refers to
http://tinlizzie.org/~awarth/ometa/ometa2.html
for more information

There is a note about

Known Issues
# This implementation uses Squeak's array literals ({...}), so it
won't work on other flavors of Smalltalk. I'll fix this over the next
few days.
# The Squeak debugger complains about OMeta rules — syntax error —
because it doesn't know about OMeta syntax. I have a plan to fix this,
but it's part of a bigger project (the OmniDebugger) which will take
some time to implement. Please let me know if you know of any quick
fixes.

Is this info still up to date?
