Installing for 'everybody' on my linux box

[michoglen63]

I downloaded the latest qb64 tarzip file and unzipped and untarred it to a qb64 directory under my Downloads. I have a running qb64 there for just myself. I copied the manpage to the manpage directory and can now 'man qb64'. So far so good.. I copied the qb64 executable elf file to /usr/bin but when I run it it wants it's "internals" - how is this properly setup so anyone can run qb64?

I am somewhat useful as a Linux admin but a complete newbie to qb64 - I apologize if the answer is just behind a google I am not formulating correctly. (ie I did try to google it)

What I did was to open a terminal. Navigate to the QB64 directory that was untarred then executed ./setup_lnx.sh
All dependencies should be installed as needs be. (may require a password)

That should do it.

NB: If you run setup as root then it will advise that is not recommended....

QB64 is not very well suited to such an installation - it's much better for each user to just have their own copy of the entire thing in their home directory.
