#### 2.1.2 Software requirements

##### Under DOS

The dos distribution contains all the files you need to run the compiler and compile Pascal programs.

##### Under UNIX

Under unix systems (such as linux) you need to have the following programs installed :

1.
  gnu as, the gnu assembler.
2.
  gnu ld, the gnu linker.
3.
  Optionally (but highly recommended) : gnu make. For easy recompiling of the compiler and Run-Time Library, this is needed.

##### Under Windows

The Windows distributions (both 32 and 64 bit) contain all the files you need to run the compiler and compile Pascal programs. However, it may be a good idea to install the mingw32 tools or the cygwin development tools. Links to both of these tools can be found on http://www.freePascal.org

##### Under OS/2

While the Free Pascal distribution comes with all necessary tools, it is a good idea to install the EMX extender in order to compile and run programs with the Free Pascal compiler. The EMX extender can be found on:
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d

##### Under Mac OS X

Mac OS X 10.1 or higher is required, and the developer tools or XCode must be installed. The installer contains the necessary instructions.
