Step 1: Download and install the C64Studio

Download and install the C64Studio release. You may also need .NET from Microsoft.
To what extent C64Studio will work under Mono for Linux is beyond me.

Step 2: Download VICE Emulator and integrate it in C64Studio

Download VICE Emulator and unzip it.
Click on "File -> Setup Wizard" in C64Studio.
Locate a file called "x64sc.exe" in your VICE folder (it could also just be called x64.exe).
You can usually find the file in newer GTK versions of VICE in the "bin" folder (if not just search for it) and specify it as a path using the "..." button located to the right of the emulator path field.
Done, simple as that. The emulator should now be integrated in C64Studio.

Step 3: Further recommended settings in C64Studio

Since MACRO HLA BASIC uses segment overlaps for its structure macros, I strongly recommend disabling the corresponding error message in C64.
This could otherwise become very annoying.
Click "File -> Preferences" and look for the tab "Assembler". In this tab, activate the entry "W0001: Segment overlaps" in the category "Ignore Warnings" at the top right.
Make sure that "W0001" is deactivated (in opposite to above which should be activated) in the category "Treat Warnings as Errors" just below it.

Step 4: Carry on with the quick guide
