Help With Installation

[Bill_LX]

I have a very beginner level question: How do I install Gambas on my Raspberry Pi? Using the Debian/Raspberry Pi Add/Remove Software tool, I downloaded the Gambas GUI. Now I have a folder called 'gambas-3.20.1' What do I do next?

I'm not a computer professional anymore and my tech skills are quite out-of-date. I still enjoy programming as at the hobbyist level and hope to find programming language I liked as much as VB6. Hopefully Gambas will be the one.

Thanks!

How exactly did you download the GUI?


you can use the OBS packages here...
https://software.opensuse.org//download ... ge=gambas3


just run these commands for Debian12...
(for deb11 just change the 12 to 11)
(for gambas development branch change stable to master)

(curl and gpg must be installed)

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/Debian_12/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:stable/Debian_12/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gambas3

It's been a lot of years since I've used a RPi, but if you used the GUI based Add/Remove Software tool to install all Gambas packages, you should have a menu entry, possibly under "Development", named "Gambas 3".

If you have Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit version) or Raspberry PI OS (Legacy 64-bit) installed you can use above as it has only 64-bit images for arm (so arm64). OSB repo has NO 32-bit arm (armhf)
See: https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

For Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit version) use:

Code: Select all

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/Debian_12/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:stable/Debian_12/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg > /dev/null

For Raspberry PI OS (Legacy 64-bit) use:

Code: Select all

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/Debian_11/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:stable/Debian_11/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg > /dev/null
