| 5 | + | **Raspbian**, now called [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/), is a free operating system based on the [Debian](https://debian.org) [[Linux]] distribution optimized for the [[Raspberry Pi]] hardware. Most historic and current versions of Raspbian support both [[Free Pascal]] and [[Lazarus]]. | |

| 7 | + | ## Installing Lazarus and Free Pascal | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | ### Graphical Installer on modern versions of Raspbian | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | On modern versions of Raspbian installation is very easy. It can be performed with the PiPackage manager. You have to select simply "Add / Remove Software" in the global Preferences menu. | |

| 15 | + | ## Installing via the command shell on older versions of Raspbian | |
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + | ### Installing Free Pascal | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | Free Pascal is easily installed with the following shell commands: | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | ``` bash | |
| 22 | + | sudo apt-get update | |
| 23 | + | sudo apt-get upgrade | |
| 24 | + | sudo apt-get install fpc | |
| 25 | + | ``` | |
| 26 | + | ||
| 27 | + | There are three modes to use Free Pascal on Raspbian: | |
| 28 | + | ||
| 29 | + | - via the shell command `fpc`. This requires to enter a number of options along with the `fpc` command. | |
| 30 | + | - via the shell command `fp`. This command starts a text-based IDE. | |
| 31 | + | - via Lazarus, see below | |
| 32 | + | ||
| 33 | + | ### Installing Lazarus | |
| 34 | + | ||
| 35 | + | The steps to install Lazarus are very similar to those required for installing Free Pascal: | |
| 36 | + | ||
| 37 | + | ``` bash | |
| 38 | + | sudo apt-get update | |
| 39 | + | sudo apt-get upgrade | |
| 40 | + | sudo apt-get install fpc | |
| 41 | + | sudo apt-get install lazarus | |
| 42 | + | ``` | |
| 43 | + | ||
| 44 | + | This installs a ready-to-use precompiled version of Lazarus, however not necessarily the newest one. | |
| 45 | + | ||
| 46 | + | ## Compiling from sources | |
| 47 | + | ||
| 48 | + | The newest versions of Lazarus are distributed as source code. | |
| 49 | + | ||
| 50 | + | To compile current FPC and Lazarus sources for Raspbian Buster (based on Debian 10 Buster), see [[Build current FPC and Lazarus for Raspbian]]. | |
| 51 | + | ||
| 52 | + | In order to compile Lazarus from subversion sources see [Michell Computing: Lazarus on the Raspberry Pi](http://www.michellcomputing.co.uk/blog/2012/11/lazarus-on-the-raspberry-pi/) for details. The information there is somewhat outdated but still usable. | |
| 53 | + | ||
| 54 | + | The easiest way to compile from source is to use [fpcup](https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/Reiniero-fpcup) . See also [[fpcup]] in this wiki. | |
