- Edit your PPL or PPL+ code for the HP Prime.
- Package your application for deployment for the HP Prime or testing on the Virtual Calculator.
- Export a G1 .hpprgm/.hpappprgm file for use on a real HP Prime or the Virtual Calculator.
- Compress code to fit more programs on your HP Prime
Important
Before running your program or application on either the Virtual HP Prime or a physical HP Prime calculator, you must first open the source code and perform a “Check” once.
This is required because Xprime currently generates .hpprgm and .hpappprgm files using an older format originally used by early HP Prime G1 firmware. The HP Prime will initially accept the file, but it must be resaved by the calculator before it becomes a fully valid modern .hpprgm or .hpappprgm file.
Simply opening the source code in the editor and performing a “Check” — or even just viewing the code and exiting the editor — causes the HP Prime to automatically resave the file using the current supported format. Once this has been done, the program or application will run normally.

Note
In light of HP Prime Development Tools support, Xprime adopts the .hpppl .hppplplus and .hpppl+ file types. This simplify development for those using either Visual Studio Code or Xprime.
Snippets & Stubs from HP Prime Development Tools are also included in Xprime Installer.
