Welcome to Arduino! Before you start controlling the world around you, you'll need to set up the software to program your board.
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:
If you have a reliable Internet connection, you should use the online IDE (Arduino Cloud 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.
If you would rather work offline, you should use the latest version of the desktop IDE.
To use the online IDE simply follow these instructions. Remember that boards work out-of-the-box on the Cloud Editor, you only need to install Arduino Create Agent to get started.
Install the Arduino Desktop IDETo get step-by-step instructions select one of the following link according to your operating system.
Portable IDE (Windows and Linux)
ChromeOS (Arduino Create App) in the Chrome Web Store
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.
