4. Installing Arduino
Download Arduino software;
- Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Arduino software, remove the entire arduino directory first.
- Create a shortcut on your desktop to "Arduino.exe" for easy access.
Install necessary Arduino drivers. Follow the instructions in page 23, Chapter 3 of Getting Started With Arduino If you are installing Arduino on Windows 8, the link below explains shortly how to install drivers for arduino on Windows 8.
