Getting started

mmcore is a keyboard-based environment built around MMBasic (Geoff Graham’s BASIC dialect). On a Raspberry Pi it boots straight to the > prompt in a few seconds. No Linux desktop underneath.

Built-in apps

From the prompt, type a command or press Ctrl+Space for the APPS launcher. Each built-in app has a page:

• EDIT, colour TUI code editor
• FILES, dual-pane file manager
• WORDPAD, markdown editor with a centred text column
• PAINT, mouse-driven pixel paint
• JUKE, music player
• PACKAGE, wizard that zips a folder into a runnable .APP
• TERM, fullscreen telnet terminal
• HELP, interactive manual
• SETTINGS, brightness, volume, theme and network status

Where to go next

• Install on Raspberry Pi · SD card images per board.
• Framebuffer and live ISO · x86_64 text console and bootable USB.
• Download · latest release assets for every platform.
