If you want to test the programs or just want to try them on Linux, the way via virtual machines is the right way.
The PB programs run to 99.9999% on virtual machines, so it is better to test them on them.
With me everything runs in VM's (Hostsystem Mac-Mini 2018,I7,32 GB Ram)
Windows XP, 7, 10; Linux x86 and x64
But first test the PB-version 5.70 on your laptop

Thanks very much
mk-soft - simple install guide is very useful
For information of others: - instructions also work fine for the MX Linux distro, both 64-bit and 32-bit, latest version 19.2 (at time of writing!) but also apply to previous releases 17 and 18. The Webkit situation is the same as for Ubuntu and is no longer available with 19.x

Hello,
because I hate unsolved problems, I'm back again with Linux here. I have installed it on an external USB-HDD with Grub-bootmenu, so that I can start Win10 from intrernal HDD or Linux from the external HDD. It's working well.
Here systeminfo:

I installed "anyway" a PureBasic Version and this is working too, not sure if everything is ok.
Version 5.70 LTS (Linux - X86)
I have tried all other versions without any success)
But now I have the next problem which I will describe in the "I hope" right thread.
Regards Rainer (who calls himself after installing Linux and PB for Linux
"SUDO-kan Rainer")

Ok, use older version from purebasic (pb v5.70)
Its a problem with zlib.
You can see the problem, when you starting the ide from terminal.
michael@Ubuntu-1604:~/Apps/purebasic-v572/compilers$ ./purebasic
./purebasic: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by ./purebasic)
My fixed IDE can work with pb v5.70
P.S. Alternate
Install VirtuelBox and VirtualBox Extension Pack on windows
Create Linux Machines: Examples
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (If used WebGadget)
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Link:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
So, is there a fix for the ZLIB problem on a real machine? I need to install PB on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (32-bit) but am hitting this problem.
Thanks
Robin

First of all, thank you for your guide, without purebasic would not run. Fred should really add a install.sh and update _checkinstall.sh - seams outdated...
but i don't understand this:

Desktop Link File for Purebasic
- Create desktop file with GEdit
- Change path to purebasic and save as "purebasic-v5.72.desktop" on desktop folder.
- Change property of desktop file to enable "Run As Program"
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Icon=/home/michael/Apps/purebasic-v572/logo.png
Name=Purebasic v5.72
Comment=Developer Utility
Exec=/home/michael/Apps/purebasic-v572/compilers/purebasic
Path=/home/michael/Apps/purebasic-v572/compilers
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
it seems, that ubuntu (downloaded today - so up to date) don't want links any more. I activated icons on desktop with the tweak-app, but i can't create functional "purebasic.desktop".

You have to edit the file in the folder /home/[user]/desktop and then allow it to start from the desktop, with the right mouse button (contents)
The "Allow Start" is new in Ubuntu 20.04
I can't say exactly how it is in English under Ubuntu, because I have the German GUI

Thank you mk-soft! Your instructions worked. For the games part I also had to run these:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx

@mk-soft, can I just copy your instruction into the INSTALL file of pb linux (and remove the outdated checkinstall.sh) ? I think it's enough and much cleared than the actual script.

Yes, in any case.
I hope that everything in my description is complete.
Maybe also the description how to create the desktop files
For Raspberry:
Add PureBasic IDE to Start Menu Development from LXpanel.

Very good idea
Great contribution from mk-soft - I have now used it many times for various versions and different flavours of MX, AntiX and Mint. Works perfectly every time and would imagine is fine for any Debian derived distro.
This is personally all I need. However, a suggestion that might help some people - - it would be even better if sections were added to INSTALL for other popular distro types. Maybe some forum users already have this information and could contribute? For example I remember seeing some posts about installing on Fedora (dnf command?). Also perhaps something for OpenSuse (zypper?) and Arch based distros (pacman) would be good. Not proposing anything excessive - just a few tips for major alternatives
