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"
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.
 
Run SpecBAS ("./SpecBAS")!
