Installing Magma
Last updated at 6:47 pm UTC on 25 December 2006
Magma is a "one-click" install from SqueakMap. If you are new to Squeak, simply open a SqueakMap Package Loader, type "magma" in the search bar, you should see three packages titled "Magma client", "Magma server", "Magma tester".

If you only want to connect to an existing repository on the network, you can just install the client package.

To create your own Magma repositories the server package is required. It's a one-click install, includes the prerequisite client package (above), so you don't need to load the client first.

If you are interested in learning about the internals of Magma, the "Magma tester" includes testing, benchmark, and development tools for Magma. As before, client and server are included, plus additional packages to run the SUnit tests for Magma, or use the benchmark or other tools.
