How to get Pharo running on WSL

Pharo can be run under Windows 10 Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Install WSL (see microsoft documentation)
Install X Server for Windows (I used VcXsrv).
Install Mesa with sudo apt install mesa-utils (needed because there are missing libraries for the x11 display used by Pharo).

Note: The Mesa dependency may be overkill. On the Pharo install page there's mention of some things to do for Ubuntu 16.

Install Pharo:

$ mkdir MyPharo
$ cd MyPharo/
$ curl -L https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash

The last step can also be the Pharo Launcher.

Note: Last time it has been tested, only Pharo of version >= 6 64bit could be run. Pharo 32bits is not compatible because of a missing part of the kernel.

For other Pharo/WSL issues, see this blog.
