How to load Metacello in Squeak?

Question

It is known that Metacello first or main target was Pharo, but it seems now that Squeak 4 is supported. I've tried but fails due a missing method. From the Transcript:

I am using Squeak 4.4-12327 image. Any help on this?

Answer 1

The above solution is no longer valid

u need to get it using this below code

(Installer monticello http:'http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss')
project: 'metacello';
install: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello'. 

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project 
  latestVersion) load.

Answer 2

I just ran this (as proposed by the install doc on Github) in 4.4 and had no problems whatsoever:

Installer gemsource
project: 'metacello';
install: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello'. 

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project 
  version: '1.0-beta.32') load.

What code are you using?

Answer 3

FWIW, by now, the Metacello installation is integrated into Squeak since Squeak 5.3 (maybe earlier).

To load Metacello via the UI, open the Apps menu in the main docking bar, and choose the Preference Wizard. Press Done and in the next view, choose Metacello for installation.

To load Metacello from code, evaluate Metacello new or Installer ensureRecentMetacello in any workspace/CodeHolder.
