The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (Arduino IDE) is the free software required to interact with your Arduino controller board, without the Arduino IDE you can’t program your Arduino microcontroller to do cool stuff like control a cool robot car.
Arduino for Mac. 8,792 downloads Updated: June 16, 2020 GPL. Review Free Download specifications 100% FREE report malware. A handy and efficient tool that provides you with all the necessary tools for writing code and for uploading it to the i/o board. What's new in Arduino 1.8.13. Finally, select the driver file named 'FTDI USB Drivers', located in the 'Drivers' folder of the Arduino Software download. Note: the FTDI USB Drivers are from Arduino. But when you install drivers for other Controllers, such as Xadow Main Board, Seeeduino Clio, Seeeduino Lite, you need to download corresponding driver file and save it.
Choose a device to install the Arduino IDE software on, in the example below I’ll be installing the software on a Desktop PC running Windows 7.
Download the Arduino IDE Software
Go to the Arduino IDE Download webpage & download the relevant version for your device.
The Arduino IDE software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
Since I’m installing on a Desktop PC running Windows 7 I downloaded the Windows Installer, for Windows XP and up with filename: arduino-1.8.5-windows.exe.
Install the Arduino IDE Software
Install the Arduino IDE software by running the downloaded file and follow the instructions. Installing the IDE software is like installing any software on a PC, lots of mouse clicking :-)
Read the Arduino License agreement and click the “I Agree” button.
Unless you have a reason to change them, keep all the Arduino IDE software components ticked and click the “Next” button.
On the next window you can choose to change the folder where the Arduino IDE software is installed, or keep the default location and click the “Install” button.
The Arduino software will start to install.
This can take sometime and you’ll be presented with various drivers to install including Arduino USB drivers and COM/LPT port drivers, I suggest you install them all.
When complete the Arduino IDE Software is ready to run.
Running the Arduino IDE Software
Attach your Arduino Microcontroller board (I’m working with an Arduino UNO clone) to your device with a USB cable.
After connecting the Arduino UNO via USB to a Desktop PC, the power light on the Arduino UNO will light up (the USB cable powers the UNO board, no need for a power supply) and you should get a “Found New Hardware” message from Windows.
Windows will attempt to install the Arduino Driver Software. Some Arduino tutorials recommend canceling Windows automatically installing the Arduino driver software and installing manually via the Device Manager. No idea why they recommend making the process more difficult?
It took a while for Windows to install the driver for my UNO, but everything worked perfectly first time and the Arduino UNO was installed on COM4.
We are almost done.
Select the Correct COM Port
Although Windows has successfully installed the Arduino on COM4 (could be COM3 or another port) the Arduino IDE Software doesn’t automatically select the relevant serial port.
To select the correct port click “Tools”, hoverover ‘Port:”COM4 Arduino Genuino UNO”‘ and click “COM4 Arduino Genuino UNO”.
That’s it, you’ve successfully installed the Arduino IDE Software.
Feel free to confirm everything is setup correctly by going to “Tools” > “Get Board Info”.
The “Get Board Info” pop up will list information about your Arduino microcontroller board.
The board info above shows it’s an Arduino/Genuino UNO which in simple terms means it’s an Arduino UNO.

HOURLY BUILDS Download a preview of the incoming release with the most updated features and bugfixes. 14 April 2015, 08:41:16 CET | BETA BUILDS Download the Beta Version of the Arduino IDE with experimental features. This version should NOT be used in production. |
Download the previous version of the current release the classic Arduino 1.0.x, or the Arduino 1.5.x Beta version.
All the Arduino 00xx versions are also available for download. The Arduino IDE can be used on Windows, Linux (both 32 and 64 bits), and Mac OS X.
Active development of the Arduino software is hosted by GitHub. See the instructions for building the code.
The source code archives of the latest release are available here. The archives are PGP-signed so they can be verified using this gpg key.
Arduino On Mac
Advanced Installation Procedure: This procedure is only recommended to advanced users who wish to completely re-flash the Yún including its U-Boot bootloader. These instructions on reflashing the base images are for reference only. Following them will void your Yún's warranty.
