Pharo on a Raspberry PI

Working off the the tutorials by Richard Eng and Torsten Bergmann, followed the instruction:

pi@raspberrypi:~/ $ mkdir pharo; cd $_

Downloaded the file from http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharoS/raspbian/latest.zip, unzipped:

pi@raspberrypi:~/pharo $ unzip latest.zip
pi@raspberrypi:~/pharo $ wget -O- get.pharo.org/stable | bash

Based on this discussion, a pre-Spur image is needed - downloaded the lastest 5.0 from https://files.pharo.org/image/50-preSpur/. When starting the error opens:

Information
Pharo cannot locate the sources file named
/home/pi/pharo/PharoV40.sources.
Please check that the file is named properly and is in the same directory as this image.
Pharo-50496.image

Downloaded sources.zip from https://files.pharo.org/get-files/50-preSpur/ and was able to start Pharo on my Pi.
