If you are running Windows XP, right click on My Computer and select Properties. Lazarus runs on a wide number of systems so you will need to know exactly what platform you have in order to download the right installer. If it does not there is usually a link on the page that is a manual download link, but you shouldn't have to enter any information in order to download lazarus. The download should start immediately from these links. One warning about these links is that SourceForge often has annoying ads that may ask you to fill out registration information. While the latest version of the Lazarus IDE can be downloaded from Source Forge, we recommend using version 0.9.28.2 (a direct link is provided below).
#Free pascal environment install#
Follow these instructions to install Lazarus on your machine:ġ.
We recommend using the Lazarus IDE which contains the Free Pascal Compiler. These environments provide features such as syntax highlighting, one-click compiling, and step-through-code debugging to name a few. Most modern compilers are packaged in what are known as Integrated Development Environments (IDE). For these reasons we recommend using the Free Pascal compiler. Free Pascal is as the name states both free as in price and free as in open source. Delphi is a commercial implementation although student versions can sometimes be purchased at reduced prices.
We use the Delphi/Free Pascal dialect in this book. A number of implementations of Object Pascal exist as well as a number of different dialects for the language itself.
