getting up and running

[Amir Ansari]

I installed it manually from the 'MagmaTester' repository on SqueakSource.

The order of packages is listed here: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/magma/2010-November/001620.html
(For Magma client, you only need to go as far as 'Magma client-cmm.520'; for server, install everything.)

BUT - before anything else - install WeakOrderedCollection: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/magma/2010-November/001612.html
(The attachment has suffix 'bin', but it's actually 'gz', so change the suffix before extracting it.  Use the file browser to load it into Pharo.)

Also, for getting started, check out Laurent Laffont's excellent screencast at: http://www.pharocasts.com/2010/02/magma-object-oriented-database.html

Hope that helps!

Amir

I found documentation saying to add an HTTP repository to the Monticello Browser with the URL http://www.squeaksource.com/Magma. I do so and re-run the above code and then I get this error: 'MetacelloProjectSpecLoadError: No version found for #stable of ConfigurationOfMaClientServer'. Proceeding from there produces a warning that the package depends on MaEnvironmentError, MaVariableBuffer and a number of other classes. If I proceed through that, I don't seem to wind up with a MagmaRepositoryController class.
