# QB64 Phoenix Edition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QB64 is a modern extended BASIC+OpenGL language that retains QB4.5/QBasic compatibility and compiles native binaries for Windows (Vista and up), Linux and macOS.
|
|
|
|
The Phoenix Edition is one of the new offshoots created when the old project related pages (QB64Team/www.qb64.org) went offline, but it's still the same programming language. For the whole story visit our new [Forum](https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=259).

# Installation <a name="Installation"></a>
|
|
Download the appropriate package for your operating system over at https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/releases/latest
|
|
|
|
<a name="Windows"></a>
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
Make sure to extract the package contents to a folder with full write permissions (failing to do so may result in IDE or compilation errors).
|
|
|
|
* It is advisable to whitelist the 'qb64pe' folder in your antivirus/antimalware software *
|
|
|
|
<a name="macOS"></a>
|
|
## macOS
|
|
Before using QB64-PE make sure to install the Xcode command line tools with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run ```./setup_osx.command``` to compile QB64-PE for your OS version.
|
|
|
|
<a name="Linux"></a>
|
|
## Linux
|
|
Compile QB64-PE with ```./setup_lnx.sh```.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies should be automatically installed. Required packages include OpenGL, ALSA and the GNU C++ Compiler.
|
|
|
|
<a name="Usage"></a>
|
|
# Usage
|
|
Run the ```qb64pe``` executable to launch the IDE, which you can use to edit your .BAS files. From there, hit F5 to compile and run your code.
|
|
|
|
To generate a binary without running it, hit F11.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if you do not wish to use the integrated IDE and to only compile your program, you can use the following command-line calls:
|
|
|
|
```qb64pe -c yourfile.bas```
|
|
|
|
```qb64pe -c yourfile.bas -o outputname.exe```
|
|
|
|
Replacing `-c` with `-x` will compile without opening a separate compiler window.
