==Downloading SpecBAS for Raspberry PI==
==Downloading SpecBAS for Raspberry Pi==


The current version of SpecBAS for Raspberry PI can be found at http://freestuff.grok.co.uk/specbas-raspi.zip
A binary debian package containing the current version of SpecBAS for Raspberry Pi can be found at http://freestuff.grok.co.uk/specbas-pi.deb

You must be running a linux distro with hard floating point support. Such as the Raspbian Wheezy distribution that Raspberry recommends.

Type "sudo apt-get install sdl-image1.2" to install the SDL image libary (you may already have this installed, if so, all good!)
Type "wget http://freestuff.grok.co.uk/specbas-pi.deb" to fetch the debian package to your home directory.


Copy libbass.so from the specbas archive into your /usr/lib/ directory and make sure it's readable. i.e: "sudo cp libbass.so /usr/lib", followed by "sudo chmod 444 /usr/lib/libbass.so"
Then type "sudo dpkg -i specbas-pi.deb" to install it.


Make sure the SpecBAS binary is executable "chmod 755 SpecBAS"
This will create a link to SpecBAS in the desktop menu (it's placed within the Programming menu) like this: [[Media:SpecBAS-Pi-Menu.png]]


Run SpecBAS ("./SpecBAS")!
Upon first execution, SpecBAS will create its working directory; /home/username/specbas (if this folder doesn't already exist). A number of useful files and folders will also be set up within this directory (containing fonts, demo programs, and a copy of the SpecBAS Reference Manual). This folder is effectively the root folder for SpecBAS/SpecOS, where SpecBAS will load files from, and save files to. SpecBAS is unaware of any files located outside of this folder.

The SpecBAS source files are available using WebSVN at http://zxnet.co.uk/websvn/listing.php?repname=SpecBAS or by checking out the source from the svn repository svn://zxnet.co.uk/specbas. The bass audio library is available from http://www.un4seen.com/
 
==Removing SpecBAS from your Raspberry Pi==


The SpecBAS source files are available through SVN at http://alistairsserver.no-ip.org/websvn/listing.php?repname=SpecBAS. The bass audio library is also available from http://www.un4seen.com/
In the unlikely event that you wish to remove SpecBAS from your Raspberry Pi, the command "sudo dpkg -r specbas" will take care of that for you.
