In order to make the series of spoon articles a little more complete, I would like to briefly explain in this article how to proceed with installing programs and what needs to be taken into account.
The ArduinoIDE is installed as an example. This program, like pretty much every other program, is installed using a step-by-step wizard.
So if you install a program other than the ArduinoIDE, the installation process will most likely be very similar.
Organization of the installation file
Before you can install a program, you will of course first need the installation package for the respective program. You can get this on your computer via data carrier (USB sticks, CD, DVD, etc.) or via the Internet.
In this case, we will download the ArduinoIDE installation package from the Internet.
To do this, go to the download page for the ArdunioIDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Start installation
To start installing the ArduinoIDE, open the folder where you downloaded the installation package.
After the installation is complete you can use the program.
Have fun with the project
I hope everything worked as described for you. If not or you have questions or suggestions please let me know in the comments. I will then add this to the article if necessary.
Ideas for new projects are always welcome. 🙂
PS Many of these projects - especially the hardware projects - cost a lot of time and money. Of course I do this because I enjoy it, but if you think it's cool that I share the information with you, I would be happy about a small donation to the coffee fund. 🙂
