choose your preferred location for download and download the ISO.
burn the downloaded ISO to a CD and reboot with the CD in tray.

when all booted up, click the "install" icon..
follow instructions.. (be careful regarding the HD partitioning, so you don't loose any data)

reboot the computer without the CD.. (booting from HD).

visit blitzbasic.com and DL BlitzMax, run the installation.

visit this page to setup the dependencies (extra packages); http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54592
which will basically tell you to install the following packages;
g++-3.3
libasound2-dev
libglu1-mesa-dev
libxxf86vm-dev

these can be dowloaded with a program called "Synaptic Package Manager", if I recall correctly..
just start that program and you can search for parts of the package names.. mark it for installation and run the update.

finally, try to compile one of the samples from the BlitzMax IDE..
Hopefully, you'll be able to copmile and run.. :)
