1. Download and install Free Pascal Lazarus IDE https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads, (Windows, 32 bit or 64 bit version). When installing, pay attention to the directory in which the Free Pascal Lazarus IDE will be located, because the path to this directory will need to be specified when setting up the Free Pascal Lazarus IDE for the taskbook (by default, the Free Pascal Lazarus IDE is installed in the first level directory on the C drive, for example, C:\Lazarus).

2. Run the PT4Setup program (Start | All programs | Programming Taskbook 4 | PT4 Setup) and make sure that the taskbook has detected the Free Pascal Lazarus IDE. If the path to the executable file lazarus.exe is not found by the taskbook, then specify it by clicking the Browse button. Close the PT4Setup program.

As a result of the steps described above, the taskbook will be set up to be used with the Free Pascal Lazarus IDE for the Pascal language.
