If you are using PICBASIC then this is a good start:-

If you are using PICBASIC Pro then...

They will walk you through installation and creating your first simple program. You should have been supplied the manual when you purchased your compiler software.

If you are having problems, and your program is not very big, you can go to "Compilespot.com" and use the PBP for free. It is a cheap way to compile, but limited in size. We can't help that much, unless code is posted.

There is much more to running PBP than what you are doing, or explaining to us.
1. you are assuming the program is in the root directory.
2. You are assuming the path is pointed to the PCP directory
3. You are assuming your program is in the current directory
4. One or all of the above... and other that I have not mentioned.
