Installing Lazarus/Free Pascal.
| Free Pascal is available for all major operating systems and for most of them there is also a Lazarus IDE. Use one of the links below to learn how to install Lazarus/Free Pascal on your actual operating system. |
| 1. Installing Lazarus/Free Pascal on MS Windows. |
| Tutorial, showing in detail, how to proceed to install the Lazarus IDE (including Free Pascal, LCL and other libraries, build tools and debugger) on Windows 10 (I suppose, that the way to proceed applies to Windows 11, as well as to Windows 8, 8.1 and probably Windows 7, too), installing both the 32bit and 64bit versions, that may easily be done thanks to the Lazarus secondary installation option. Concerning the installation of Lazarus on earlier releases of MS Windows, please, have a look at Installing Lazarus/Free Pascal 32-bit on old Windows releases. |
| 2. Installing Lazarus/Free Pascal on Linux. |
| Tutorial, showing in detail, how to proceed to install the Lazarus IDE (including Free Pascal, LCL and other libraries, build tools and debugger) on Ubuntu, using the command line program AptGet. The tutorial applies to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, with also some details concerning the actual (2022) version Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and the older Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, that is used as base for Bio-Linux 8, for example. Furthermore, the tutorial contains links concerning Lazarus on Debian/Ubuntu based systems, as well as on other Linux distributions. |
| 3. Installing Lazarus/Free Pascal on macOS. |
| Tutorial, showing in detail, how to proceed to install the Free Pascal compiler, the Free Pascal sources and the Lazarus IDE on macOS BigSur. It also contains information concerning the debugging of Free Pascal applications on the actual versions of macOS (not working without some configuration to be done after Lazarus has been installed). |
