The target system where you want to install the gambas application on 
has to have the link to the gambas repository.
Seems you are on Debian/Ubuntu.

For Ubuntu open terminal on target system and do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update


Next you can install your gambas application, it will pull in all 
dependencies (like interpreter) and install them.
It will only install those parts of Gambas the application needs to run 
properly.


Above is for Gambas stable 3.9.2, if you developed your application in 
trunk you will need to add trunk repo to target system instead of stable 
repo.

Hope this explains all.
