Installing Pascal on MacBook Pro Intel BigSur11.5.2
mo112:
Hello,
i am a fresh math Student from Germany and i am in need to install Pascal on my Macbook. I have an MacbookPro with BigSur11.5.2 Software. Furthermore i installed the XCode12.5.1 Version and Lazarus IDE2.2ORC1
I tried to install the Pascal Software, but there is nothing to see in my Launchpad.
Could anyone please help me to install Pascal?
Thank you very much.

Provided that you have installed the three packages (Lazarus, FPC binaries and FPC source) you should be good to go.
If you wish to use FPC outside of the Lazarus IDE, open an Applications> Utilities > Terminal window and compile a program using "fpc myProgram.pas".
There is no separate entry in Launchpad for the Free Pascal Compiler because it is a command line program which the Lazarus IDE takes care of calling for you.

trev, thank you very much for your respond.
But sadly i dont understand nothing...
If i go into the Terminal and fill in the "fpc myprogramm.pas"
there will come:

I´ve not opened a Terminal and window and execute "xcode-select --install".
Now i ´ll have to download the tool and we will see what happened.

Detailed instructions for installing the Lazarus IDE and FPC may be found in the wiki article Installing Lazarus on macOS.

Do you have a file named myprogramm.pas in the directory?

Go to Applications > Lazarus and click on Lazarus.app.
Of course, you do need to install the Xcode command line tools.
Let us know if you have any problems.
