    ARDUINO COMPATIBLES/LEARN ARDUINOARDUINO COMPATIBLES/ADAFRUIT METROFollow these steps to install a library in Mac OSX.

    Dec 13, 2016  Just zip your custom library and click on the 'Import' button on the Library panel. If you want to import multiple custom libraries at once you can do so by creating a single zip file which contains all of them and just import it. To install your own library, create a folder inside ARDUINO/hardware/libraries with the name of your library. The folder should contain a C or C file with your code and a header file with your function and variable declarations. It will then appear in the Sketch Import Library menu in the Arduino IDE.

    Close the Arduino IDE

    First make sure that all Arduinoinstances of the Arduino IDE are closed. The IDE only scans for libraries at startup. It will not see your new library as long as any instance of the IDE is open!

    Download the Zip File

    Make sure to select a released version of the library. Some library repositories are still in development, and may contain unreleased or untested code. The 'Releases' button takes you to the tested and released versions.

    1. Click the 'Releases' button on the Github repository page to find the released version of the library.
    2. Then download the zip file.

    Find it in the Downloads Folder

    OSX will automatically open the zip file there.

    Drag it to your Libraries Folder

    Open your sketchbook Libraries folder and drag the master folder from Downloads into it.

    Give it a Legal Name

    The IDE will not recognize folders with dashes in the name. So you must rename the Github Master Folder. Underscores are OK!

    Re-start the IDE

    Restart the Arduino IDE and verify that the library appears in the File->Examples menu.
    Load one of the library examples to test.

    Verify that it Compiles

    Click the check-mark icon in the upper left and verify that the example sketch compiles without errors.

    If you are using a Macor Linux computer, the Python is already installed. If you are usingWindows, then you will need to install it. In either case, you willalso need to install the PySerial library to allow communication withthe Arduino.

    Install Python on Windows

    To install Python on Windows, download the installer from http://www.python.org/getit/.

    There are some reported problems with PySerial on Windows, using Python 3, so stick to Python 2.

    Once Python isinstalled, you will find a new Program Group on your Start menu.However, we are going to make a change to Windows to allow you to usePython from the Command Prompt. You will need this to be able toinstall PySerial.

    Weare going to add something to the PATH environment variable.

    To do this, you need togo to the Windows Control panel and find the System Propertiescontrol. Then click on the button labelled “Environment Variables”and in the window that pops-up select “Path” in the bottomsection (System Variables). Click “Edit” and then at the end of the “Variable Value” without deleting anyof the text already there, add the text: ;C:Python27

    Don't forget the ';' before the new bit!

    To test that it workedokay, start a new Command Prompt (DOS Prompt) and enter the command“python”. You should see something like this:

    Install PySerial

    Whatever your operatingsystem, download the .tar.gz install package for PySerial 2.6 fromhttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyserial

    This will give you afile called: pyserial-2.6.tar.gz

    If you are usingwindows you need to uncompress this into a folder. Cleanup mac os x library directory after migration 2017. Unfortunately, itis not a normal zip file, so you may need to download a tool such as7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).

    If you are using a Macor Linux computer, then open a Terminal session, 'cd' to wherever youdownloaded pyserial-2.6.tar.gz and then issue the following commandto unpack the installation folder.

    Download:file

    The rest of theprocedure is the same whatever your operating system. Use you ComamndPrompt / Terminal session and “cd” into the pyserial-2.6 folder,then run the command:
