F5 shouldn't be leaving a bunch of "trash" everywhere. More work needs to be done to this, but this is a start.

|
|
|
|

|
|
## macOS
|
|
Before using QB64 make sure to install the Xcode command line tools with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run ```./setup_osx.command``` to compile QB64 for your OS version.
|
|
|
|
<a name="Linux"></a>
|
|
## Linux
|
|
Compile QB64 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 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. |
