The Library Manager is the simplest and safest way to install libraries. If possible, that is the method you should use.

If you prefer manual installation you can simply drop a library directory (ensuring that its unzipped) into your sketchbook folder then restart the Arduino IDE. You can discover the location of your sketchbook folder by Navigating to File › Preferences or Arduino › Preferences. The default locations are. Jan 12, 2020  You can access the hidden Library folder without using Terminal, which has the side effect of revealing every hidden file on your Mac. This method will only make the Library folder visible, and only for as long as you keep the Finder window for the Library folder open. As far as I can tell this version of Arduino IDE is not functional without the 'Arduino Create Agent'. I only figured it out when I used the Arduino.cc site online version and that version stated clearly that the 'Arduino Create Agent' needs to be installed and running. Otherwise it appears that your Arduino.

If the library you want to use is not available via the library manager, you can get the source code and place it into your machine's local library folder. The location of the folder is rather specific.

See the file hierarchy below:

On a Mac the Arduino.h file is within the Arduino application itself. It's not that easy to get to without resorting to the command line. You also need far more than just Arduino.h - you need the entirety of the Arduino AVR core, which is a collection of.h,.c and.cpp files. The default name of the Sketchbook folder is “Arduino” and the default location of the Sketchbook folder is in the “My Documents” folder (or just “Documents” for Mac users). If your Sketchbook does not appear to be in this default location, you can see exactly where it is by opening the Arduino IDE and going to Arduino Preferences. Jun 23, 2018  If you don't know this location simply open Arduino IDE. Then go to Preferences and see Sketchbook location section at the top. Then change this location wherever needed in the below command list. For me it was 'C:UsersAliustaogluDocumentsArduino'. Change yours accordingly. It is quite simple for Windows.

It is important to install your libraries in the correct location. Otherwise the compiler will not be able to locate them when you try to compile and upload your sketches.

Locate your Sketchbook Folder and the Libraries Folder Inside

Your sketchbook folder is the folder where the Arduino IDE stores your sketches. This folder is automatically created by the IDE when you install it.
On Linux machines, the folder is named 'Sketchbook' and it is typically located in /home/
On Windows and Macintosh machines, the default name of the folder is 'Arduino' and is located in your Documents folder.

User installed libraries should go in a folder named Libraries, located inside your sketchbook folder. This is where the IDE will look for user installed libraries.

1 Go to the Arduino downloads page and click the Mac OS X link to download a.zip file containing a copy of the Arduino application for Mac OS X. Currently, the file is 71.1MB. That’s quite a large file, so it may take a while to download. After you’ve finished downloading, double-click the file to the Arduino application and place it in your Applications folder. When the Arduino Software (IDE) is properly installed you can go back to the Getting Started Home and choose your board from the list on the right of the page. Last revision 2016/08/09 by SM. The text of the Arduino getting started guide is licensed under a. This guide takes you step-by-step through the process of installing Arduino libraries on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms. Arduino library folder mac os x download.

Open the Preferences Dialog Click File -> Preferences in the IDE.

Find the Sketchbook Location Usually a folder named Arduino in your Documents folder. Once you know the location, navigate to this folder in Windows Explorer or mac Finder

Create a Libraries Folder If there is no Libraries folder there, create one. Right click in Windows Explorer and select New -> Folder.

Rename to Libraries Right click on the New Folder and select Rename. Then type in Libraries.

Arduino Library Manager

Follow these steps to install a library in Mac OSX.

Arduino Ide Library Location

Close the Arduino IDE

First make sure that all instances 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!

Arduino Mac Address

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. Click the 'Releases' button on the Github repository page to find the released version of the library. 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.
