Dear Pharo Team, To try out version 13 I tried to follow the instructions on https://pharo.org/download.
First I clicked on the download link for my system: https://files.pharo.org/pharo-launcher/mac-x64, I mounted the .dmg and dragged PharoLauncher.app to my Applications folder. When I started Pharo Launcher it did not show me the stable version for Pharo 13, just the development version, nor the Pharo 14 development version. Then I tried the Command Line install: curl -L https://get.pharo.org | bash However, this still downloads Pharo 12. I could not follow the instructions for the Pharo standalone install because the link to the 64bit Pharo image is broken. Then I asked on Discord about Pharo Launcher and someone told me to delete the sources.list file in ~/Documents/Pharo as a workaround. So I was able to run Pharo 13 in the end. However, I wanted to let you know about my difficulties anyway because newbies might run into the same problems.
