If you are happy with the versions offered by your distribution this might be the way to go.

Use FPCUPdeluxe - it can install a range of versions of both FPC and Lazarus for you without requiring you to understand the underlying structure. In addition, you can easily make your own changes to the Lazarus Component Library, maybe just debug statements, maybe additional features you can feed back to help improve Lazarus further. Or an old version to work on legacy code. May take a touch longer but is almost as easy and you do end up with the ability to add extra Lazarus installs, perhaps a 'production' version and a version based on the next release candidate. #Install double commander ubuntu 18.04 code#
Install FPC from either your Package Manager or SourceForge and then download the Lazarus source code and compile it yourself. The install process is still very easy ! This is possibly the best bet for new users.
Here you will find a wide choice of matched versions but you can only install one version at a time.
Use the pre compiled packages (both FPC and Lazarus) made available by the FPC/Lazarus Team at SourceForge. But on the other hand, using the package manager approach is very easy and probably suits casual users. You can install only one version of Lazarus under this model. And many users do find those new releases attractive. Due to distro and Lazarus release cycles being out of sync, at any one time, its unlikely that your distribution will have the latest release of Lazarus. This means you are locked into the version of Lazarus that your distribution maintainers offer.
Use your Package Manager to install both FPC and Lazarus. We don't recomend you get your FPC and Lazarus install kits from different places, its sometimes possible but sometimes unreliable. You can, at any stage change your mind but at the cost of some backtracking. You do need to decide, early on, where you will be getting your Lazarus install from. Other platforms, or perhaps users with specific needs ( see ) will need to stick with gdb. Click the "Change Type" button and select "FPDebug internal Dwarf-Debugger". If its not auto selected (perhaps because you also have gdb installed), in Lazarus, Tool->Options->Debugger->Debugger-Backend. Its reported to be faster and in some respects, more feature rich than gdb. Linux (and Windows) users on Intel or AMD processors can use fpdebug backend (or, more correctly, FPDebug internal Dwarf-Debugger) and for most users thats a good choice. Seems to be a particular problem on Ubuntu. If you find starting Lazarus has a 20 odd second delay, do try this additional package. You should avoid using tools like dpkg or rpm and instead use apt or yum depending on your flavour of Linux.Īccording to forum member "MarkMLl", required Debian packages for Lazarus are:Īdditionally, some distribution may also require appmenu-gtk2-module. What ever Package manager tool you use, make sure you are using one that resolves dependencies (that is, it also installs thing that are required by the main package you are installing), most GUI apps do. Maybe try double clicking on a downloaded package in your file manager. #Install double commander ubuntu 18.04 software#
You will get the same result if you use your favourite GUI Tool such as Synaptic, Ubuntu Software Centre or YaST2. While we give command line examples, thats just because its easier to write.
Package Manager means a range of things on different different Linux systems. We refer to various downloadable files such as fpc_something - you should replace the 'something' with whats appropriate for your system, for example, early 2019 using a DEB based 64bit distro it might be fpc-laz_3.0.4-1_b. Mixing the install methods, especially after V2.0 may cause problems so please read carefully. #Install double commander ubuntu 18.04 update#
Linux users should think of FPC and Lazarus as being two distinct but related processes, FPC does not change much, on the other hand, you will probably want to update your Lazarus install or perhaps install multiple Lazarus versions. Its intended for new and 'regular' users, it does not cover some very advanced methods and concentrates on current releases.
