The Metacello help, while with good intentions, is severely outdated.

Please disregards the "Getting Started" entry.
	
The way of using Metacello directly via ConfigurationOf… is de facto deprecated,
and all the other stuff there probably won't work, either (Metacello moved away from code.google.com quite some time ago).

If you look at the most recent version at github in this URL: https://github.com/Metacello/metacello/blob/master/repository/Metacello-Help.package/MetacelloHelp.class/class/gettingStarted.st
you see that it was last changed in 2012, when the "original" metacello was still active. _That_ version is what we use to install the current version (which used with the "Metacello"-class api, which supports Baselines and GitHub).

What do?

Change the Help and issue a Pull Request against https://github.com/Metacello/metacello :) 

Best regards
