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.
