Strange, this should have installed grunt-init globally and thus it should be runnable from cli.
I use node 6 now, but only recently I used node 5 and I think it should work fine in node 5 as well (I even think it goes fine as far as 0.12).

i use git-bash on windows
sometimes global commands aren't installed correctly
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
Why? Just use the command prompt.
francesco agati
@francescoagati
i will try to use power shell
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
Amber instructions are for bash on Unixes and CMD on WIndows. There they work.
francesco agati
@francescoagati
yes i think is git bash
thanks i will try with powershell
or wait for ubuntu on windows ;-)
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
On Windows you should use "Command Prompt".
francesco agati
@francescoagati
yes
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
Try it in that, if you don't have hard reason not to use it.
francesco agati
@francescoagati
you are right
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
So no git bash or power shell or anything too clever. Basic CMD.
And report back if it worked / still not working if you can. Thanks.

@francescoagati
ok really thanks for help

Is Amber still alive/under active development?
confused by the state of the github repository as well as the fact that none of the issues tracked on the lolg.it repo have any active conversation (and there's over 1000 of them)
curious about smalltalk but don't really know where to jump in.
for smalltalk in general you need a book. Are you totally new to smalltalk?

As for lolg move, i guess people still like git but dislike github. I welcome the change.
Herbert Vojčík
@herby
@bstro ad 1000 error, no conversation: only some aspects of the error were migrated (title, description), not the others (conversations, closed state).
Will be fixed later.

during amber init there is a ref to a github repository that is deleted. so isn't possible finalize the build of the init project
it look dead here...I just wonder ....does Amber has a stepping debugger ?

Does it seriously take 3 hours to send an e-mail? (~_~) I'm talking about the lolg.it activation e-mail. I was thinking about contributing to amber and maybe close some of the issues.

Hello All, As a Smalltalker of several decades, I was interested in Amber - but blocked by the difficulty of installation. I believe for any sort of success, the barrier to quick entry needs to be very low. I recommend using some modern configuration platforms that will reduce the cost of entry for casual users and developers: For developers please look at NixOS; for deployers look at NixOPS and/or Docker, for casual experimenters Docker or a Virtual Machine which can be run on Virtualbox or cloud. All of these platforms offer automated build and low-error deployment - and would make it much easier to sign up to help or try-out Amber.

Hey Amber implementors, How did you go about bootstrapping your runtime? For example: ProtoObject subclass: #ProtoObject is a hard message to send when #ProtoObject about be a Symbol instance and yet ProtoObject is not yet ready?

Okay moving along. Does anyone remember Norway Today? I think it may have saved me 1/5 internet years

@pjgoodall I agree on this. Habitat and AppImage seems suitable too.
