Description

This is an ongoing effort to port CORMAS to Pharo ecosystem. Current stable version of CORMAS is based on VisualWorks 7.6 and still can be found on: http://cormas.cirad.fr/indexeng.htm

Some documentation (to be cleaned and reorganized) about Cormas is available on the Wiki here: https://github.com/cormas/documentation

If you want to contribute to CORMAS please have a look to the contributing guide. Join us on the cormas-dev mailing-list: http://groups.google.com/group/cormas-dev

Installation

Standard Installation

• Download a Pharo 9.0 image+VM depending of your platform: http://pharo.org/download
• Load Cormas: Open Pharo 9.0 image then click anywhere to open the main menu. Choose Playground (Ctrl + OW or Cmd + OW) to execute the following script. Paste the script below in Playground, select all then right-click and choose Do it (Ctrl+D or Cmd+D) to execute it:

EpMonitor disableDuring: [
	Metacello new
		onConflictUseLoaded;
		onWarningLog;
		repository: 'github://cormas/cormas/';
		baseline: 'Cormas';
		load ] 

All packages load into the Cormas-* package names:

CLI Installation

Using Standard Unix CLI

You can install CORMAS through Unix command line. It works as follow:

mkdir mydir; cd mydir
curl https://get.pharo.org/90+vm | bash
./pharo Pharo.image eval "EpMonitor disableDuring: [
	Metacello new
		onConflictUseLoaded;
		onWarningLog;
		repository: 'github://cormas/cormas/';
		baseline: 'Cormas';
		load ]. 
Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true"

Using PI

Make sure you have pi installed, and then execute:

pi install Cormas

Troubleshooting

There is from time to time, loading errors with github. If it happens, execute the following expression from Pharo:

| maxCount count |
maxCount := 3.
count := 1.
Transcript open.
[ count <= maxCount ] whileTrue: [ [
	^ Metacello new
		onWarningLog;
		repository: 'github://cormas/cormas/';
		baseline: 'Cormas';
		load
	]
	on: IceGenericError "Failed to connect to github.com: Interrupted system call"
	do: [ : ex |
		MetacelloNotification signal: String cr , ex description , String cr , 'RETRYING ', maxCount asString.
		(Delay forSeconds: 2) wait.
		ex retry
	].
	count := count + 1 ]

Please add an issue if the installation expression above does not work due to one of these known exceptions:

• IceGenericError: Failed to connect to github.com: Interrupted system call.
• IceGenericError: SecureTransport error: connection closed via error
• IceGenericError: unexpected return value from ssl handshake -9806

Saving your image

As the loading process is rather slow, we recommend to save your image once the installation procedure has been successfully concluded. For that, select Save As... from the 'Pharo' menu:

Then write the name of your choice (ex: cormasPharo.im):
