How to install UIBuilder on Pharo

I'm learning Smalltalk for my graduation (Computer Science), and got started using Pharo.

I've read and watched that there is a nice framework for UI building, called UIBuilder tool. But I'm confused on how to install it on Pharo.

The old "UIBuilder" project seems to be dead/discontinued. The Squeaksource page http://www.squeaksource.com/UIBuilder.html says:

"Failed attempt of develop a UI builder for Pharo-Smalltalk."

There is now a new "UI Painter" project developed as part of GSOC 2013 for Pharo based on Spec. More information can be found here : http://uipainter-gsoc.over-blog.com/

If you can get away with it, build your UI with Glamour. That is included in Moose. Otherwise the supported (but very much in development) way to create UI's for Pharo is using Spec.

Note that this unfortunately only works on old versions of Pharo.

The install instructions are what the registration section gives e/g/

In a transcript paste

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/UIBuilder'
    user: ''
    password: ''

Select that and choose DoIt from the menu.

This will then download the classes and install in the image. The tool that does this is Monticello for more on this see the Pharo By Example Monticello chapter
