Lesson 1 Installing IDE
Introduction
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the software side of the Arduino platform.
In this lesson, you will learn how to setup your computer to use Arduino and how to set about the lessons that follow.
The Arduino software that you will use to program your Arduino is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The installation process is
different for all three platforms and unfortunately there is a certain amount of manual work to install the software.
STEP 1: Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and find below page.
The version available at this website is usually the latest version, and the actual version may be newer than the version in the
picture.

However, this installation method needs separate installation of driver.
The Arduino folder contains both the Arduino program itself and the drivers that allow the Arduino to be connected to your computer by
a USB cable. Before we launch the Arduino software, you are going to install the USB drivers.
Plug one end of your USB cable into the Arduino and the other into a USB socket on your computer. The power light on the LED will
light up and you may get a 'Found New Hardware' message from Windows. Ignore this message and cancel any attempts that Windows
makes to try and install drivers automatically for you.
The most reliable method of installing the USB drivers is to use the Device Manager. This is accessed in different ways depending on
your version of Windows. In Windows 7, you first have to open the Control Panel, then select the option to view Icons, and you should
find the Device Manager in the list.
Under ‘Other Devices’, you should see an icon for ‘unknown device’ with a little yellow warning triangle next to it. This is your
Arduino.
16/78
Right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...).
17/78
You will then be prompted to either ‘Search Automatically for updated driver software’ or ‘Browse my computer for driver software’.
Select the option to browse and navigate to the X\arduino1.8.0\drivers.
18/78
Click 'Next' and you may get a security warning, if so, allow the software to be installed. Once the software has been installed, you will get a
confirmation message.
Windows users may skip the installation directions for Mac and Linux systems and jump to Lesson 1. Mac and Linux users may
continue to read this section.
