in reference to FreeBasic if you are not too lazy to do some initial steps it's well worth it
if your OS is Windows then download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/fbc/Fre...z?download
it's a bit more complicated on Linux because FreeBasic depends on a number of libraries to be installed
on Windows extract the archive to wherever you want then download an install the geany IDE https://www.geany.org/ ,launch geany and open a .bas file, then
click on the Build Menu and select Set Build Commands, edit the compile command to something like this
C:\FreeBASIC-1.09.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0\fbc64.exe -w all -arch native -gen gcc -Wc -O2 -v "%f"
you are ready to compile and run your basic programs
[note that geany is a multi-language IDE that determines what compiler to use depending on the file extension so to edit the compile command for FreeBasic you need to open a basic file]
I hope that's not too confusing
