PureBasic will run on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (in both 32-bit and 64-bit edition), Linux (kernel 2.2 or above) and MacOS X (10.5 or above).

If there are any problems, please contact us.

Windows

For many graphic functions like 3D or Sprites there is needed the DirectX9.0c version. Windows Vista and later don't have installed this from start, so it need to be installed manually.

You can download and install it via the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35.

Linux

Required packages to use PureBasic:

- sdl 1.2 devel (For games)
- gtk 2+ (For GUI programs)
- libstdc++ devel
- gcc correctly installed

- iodbc and iodbc-devel to be able to use the Database commands (see www.iodbc.org)

- libwebkit should be installed to have the WebGadget() working.

- xine and xine-devel for the Movie commands Check the INSTALL and README file for more information.

MacOS X

You need to install the Apple developer tools to be able to use PureBasic. The tools can be found either on one of the install CDs or on the Apple web site: http://developer.apple.com/

Be aware to use the latest version of the tools (e.g. XCode), which is needed for your OS version! The commandline tools needs to be installed from XCode once installed.
