Installation


This page covers installing the source and binary versions of the IDE. If you have any problems, please submit a support request.

Binary Installation

  1. Download the latest binary version.
  2. Run the EXE and follow the instructions

Source Installation


This installation procedure will set up all the components necessary for the editing and modifying of BASIC IDE in Delphi 6 Personal Edition. This should work for other versions of Delphi as well, though. I have done it so much I probably could do it in my sleep, however some others probably don't want to do all the work that I did to figure out the installation. I am therefore repeating it all here. Enjoy!
