Installation

Download the appropriate package for your operating system over at https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/releases/tag/v1.0alpha

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 to whitelist the QB64 folder in your antivirus/antimalware software *

macOS

Before using QB64 make sure to install the Xcode command line tools with:

xcode-select --install

Run ./setup_osx.command to compile QB64 for your OS version.

Linux

Compile QB64 with ./setup_lnx.sh.

Dependencies should be automatically installed. Required packages include OpenGL, ALSA and the GNU C++ Compiler.

Usage

Run the QB64 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:

qb64 -c yourfile.bas

qb64 -c yourfile.bas -o outputname.exe

Replacing -c with -x will compile without opening a separate compiler window.
