Download Arduino Environment

You can directly download the latest version from this link: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. When the download is finished, unzip the downloaded file. Be sure to preserve the folder structure. Double-click the folder to open it. There should be several files and sub-folders inside.

The Arduino Software (IDE) allows you to write programs and upload them to your board. In the Arduino Software page you will find two options:

1. If you have a reliable Internet connection, you should use the online IDE (Arduino Web Editor). It will allow you to save your sketches in the cloud, having them available from any device and backed up. You will always have the most up-to-date version of the IDE without the need to install updates or community generated libraries.

2. If you would rather work offline, you should use the latest version of the desktop IDE .


Install the Arduino Desktop IDE

To get step-by-step instructions select one of the following link accordingly to your operating system.

Windows
Mac OS X
Linux
Portable IDE (Windows and Linux)

Choose your board in the list here on the right to learn how to get started with it and how to use it on the Desktop IDE.


Example for Installing Arduino IDE

STEP 1: Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software and find below page.

The version available at this official website is usually the latest version.


STEP 2:Download the development software that is compatible with the operating system of your computer. In the following, take Windows as an example.

Note:the FTDI USB Drivers are from Arduino. But when you install drivers for other Controllers, such as keyestudio Mega 2560 R3 Development Board;
you need to download corresponding driver file and save it. And select the driver file you have downloaded.

  • The below dialog boxes automatically appears if you have installed driver successfully.

  • You can check that whether the drivers have been installed by opening the Windows Device Manager. Look for a "USB Serial Port" in the Ports section.
