on normal debian based raspian it should be on the servers but will be an older version to the latest.
just use the package manager to add gambas3

or for latest version you'll need to install the packages to compile it...
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/install/raspbian
(dependencies may be out of date, see matching debian version dependencies to find updates)

on ubuntu based raspberry you can use the PPA install method to get the latest.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gambas3
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Thanks for your reply .
I am using Raspbian Stretch . I installed it from repository . There is some errors in the IDE to use some component that come from gb.form , like : LCDLABEL , Button Options ....
Also there is an error while I am typing my code .
In both cases of occuring Error , The IDE don't RUN any more . I should quit from IDE and Run it again . When I use LCDLABEL in IDE , It cause an error that I told , and IDE don't Run anything . When I quit IDE and comeback to it , IT runs the code that include LCDLABEL !!!!.

Please help me to solve these problems or installing a proper version on my raspbian .

Can you not upgrade the raspbian OS? stretch is pretty old,

debian buster will install gambas 3.12
debian bullseye (the latest) installs gambas 3.15

newer raspberry systems can be found here...
http://raspbian.mirror.uk.sargasso.net/raspbian/dists/

ready to go Raspbian buster can be found here...

The easiest way to get latest gambas on raspberry is to install the ubuntu rabpberry os...
https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi

once an ubuntu raspberry is running you can use the PPA method i mentioned above to install latest stable version of the IDE :)

Thank you sir
I have a Raspberry pi 2 Model B and a RaspBerry Pi 3 Model B .
Which of these OS that you mentioned is supported by RPi 2 Model B or RPi 3 Model B .

I also upgrade the Stretch in last weak .
I didn't change my OS because I didn't need more features , But apparently I should change it now ...

Thanks for your solution . I will change my OS to a newer one and then write the report of my work here .

I think you should try Gambas with Raspbian OS. I have had no issues with that setup.
