Q: How do I get back the Helios IDE after I have closed it

Press this sequence of keys: Shift, Shift, Ctrl, Shift. A dialog should appear with "Legacy IDE" and "Helios IDE" buttons.

In case the above did not work, evaluate the following in the JavaScript console:

require('amber/helpers').popupHelios()

Q: What version is the amber website running?

1. Open IDE at http://amber-lang.net/.
2. Go to Workspace tab.
3. Print-it Smalltalk version.

How do I install the latest Amber version?

'Latest' often means the 'latest stable'. If this is the case go for

  npm -g install amber-cli

If you mean really the prereleases,

  npm -g install amber-cli@bleedingedge 

should install the last prerelease (but not the stable version even if it is newer).

Use npm info amber-cli to find out which version is latest and which one is bleedingedge, if you are unsure.

How do I update Amber?

• npm install -g amber-cli will get it fixed for all new projects and

• npm update amber-dev in every project dir will fix it for current projects
