README
Use [GitBuilder](https://github.com/VR51/GitBuilder) instead.
Atari800 Installer still works in 2025 but [GitBuilder](https://github.com/VR51/GitBuilder) is the future of this script and the replacement for my other individual GitHub repository downloaders and builders.
# Atari800 Installer
Use this script to download and build the latest source for Atari800, or to update Atari800 to the latest version.
You only need file atari800.sh
- Make sure the script is executable:
- Right-click > properties > Executable
- Or, in a terminal, type `chmod u+x Atari800.sh`
- Launch Atari800 Installer by clicking the script file or by typing `bash atari800.sh` in a terminal.
Atari800 will be compiled in `$HOME/src/atari800/src`.
Files that exist in `$HOME/src/atari800` will be overwritten or updated by the installer.

## Reference Guides
Atari800 ships with built-in AltirraOS. This provides Atari BIOSes for the emulated machines and it provides Atari BASIC.
Altirra is an Atari emulator for Windows. It is different to the Atari800 emulator installed by this script. However, if you are interested, for reference purposes there is an [Altirra Hardware Reference Manual](http://www.virtualdub.org/downloads/Altirra%20Hardware%20Reference%20Manual.pdf) and [Altirra BASIC Reference Manual](http://www.virtualdub.org/downloads/Altirra%20BASIC%20Reference%20Manual.pdf) available for download.
