getting up and running

[Chris Muller]

Hello all,  that installation procedure is old, and will result in an
older version of Magma being installed.  I recommend following the
installation instructions from the Magma home page, which I had
updated about a month ago..

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.
