Installing RGBDS
Most people will want to use a stable release (the more recent the better).
These are the operating systems for which pre-built executables of recent releases of RGBDS are available:
If none of these options fit your needs, you can build from source.
Docker​
We distribute an official container image for RGBDS. It contains the built executables and the build dependencies, in case you want to compile from source.
docker pull ghcr.io/gbdev/rgbds:latest
Each released version has a corresponding tag, while the master
tag reflects the latest Git commit.
Installing a development version​
If you are willing to help us test new features, consider using a development version.
Managing multiple versions​
If you need to frequently switch between different versions of RGBDS, consider using rgbenv, the RGBDS version manager.
