System Requirements

System Requirements​

BASIC-256 2.1 runs on:

  • Windows 7 or later (64-bit)
  • Linux — 64-bit x86-64 and ARM64
  • macOS — Apple Silicon
  • Web browser — a WebAssembly (WASM) build runs in any modern browser with nothing to install: Run BASIC-256 online

Requirements are modest: any computer able to run a current version of one of these operating systems will run BASIC-256 comfortably.

Building from source​

  • Qt 6 (the 2.1 releases build against Qt 6.11)
  • Windows: MSVC 2022
  • GNU Flex and Bison — to regenerate the language parser
  • The browser build additionally uses Emscripten

Historical note: BASIC-256 releases before 2.1 were built with Qt 4, and on Windows with MinGW.
