Delphi 13.0 PAServer Installer for Debian-based Linux Distributions
Simplified onboarding for Delphi developers using Linux operating systems (Ubuntu, Mint, Debian)
The provided Debian package installs the PA Server on Linux systems that use the Debian Package Installer. The user-friendly two-step installation program allows preparation for console applications as well as applications based on FMX Linux. The initial setup simplifies the automatic checking and loading of all required Linux modules. In addition, the creation of a desktop shortcut for PA Server significantly lowers the entry barrier for Windows developers.
