How to install OSProcess in Pharo?

I want to use OSProcess to execute external programs in Linux and MacOS from Pharo 1.4. I've followed other post install instructions but when I evaluate

(PipeableOSProcess command: 'pwd') output asFileReference

it hangs the VM under Ubuntu. For OSProcessPlugin There is a Squeak wiki page with instructions but execution returns:

OSProcess not available or OSProcess plugin not functioning

Loading OSProcess sar file from the File Browser leads to a Syntax Error

(anArrayOfNullTerminatedStrings collect: [:e | e size])
    inject: offset into: [:p :e | ws nextPut: p. Cannot store into -> p := p + e].

Do I have to build my own VM to make it work? What do I need to do to execute commands in Linux under latest Pharo 1.4?

In Pharo 5.0 or alpha 6, use the Catalog Browser, found in the Tools menu of the world menu.

Use the Configuration for OSProcess available in the Metacello Repository:

Gofer new
    squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfOSProcess';
    load.

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOSProcess) project version: #stable) load.

Using the configuration you avoid loading unstable versions.
