• Step 2 − Download Arduino IDE Software.
You can get different versions of Arduino IDE from the Download page
on the Arduino Official website. You must select your software, which
is compatible with your operating system (Windows, IOS, or Linux).
After your file download is complete, unzip the file.

Step 3 − Power up your board.
Connect the Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable. The
green power LED (labeled PWR) should glow.
Step 4 − Launch Arduino IDE.
After your Arduino IDE software is downloaded, you need to unzip the
folder. Inside the folder, you can find the application icon with an
infinity label (application.exe). Double-click the icon to start the IDE.
• Step 5 − Open your first project.
• Once the software starts, you have two options −
• Create a new project.
• Open an existing project example.
• To create a new project, select File → New.
• Step 6 − Select your Arduino board.
To avoid any error while uploading your program to the board, you
must select the correct Arduino board name, which matches with the
board connected to your computer.
Go to Tools → Board and select your board.
• Step 7 − Select your serial port.
• Select the serial device of the Arduino board. Go to Tools → Serial
Port menu. This is likely to be COM3 or higher (COM1 and COM2 are
usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out, you can
disconnect your Arduino board and re-open the menu, the entry that
disappears should be of the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and
select that serial port.
• Step 8 − Upload the program to your board.
• Before explaining how we can upload our program to the board, we
must demonstrate the function of each symbol appearing in the
Arduino IDE toolbar.
• A − Used to check if there is any compilation error.
• B − Used to upload a program to the Arduino board.
• C − Shortcut used to create a new sketch.
• D − Used to directly open one of the example sketch.
• E − Used to save your sketch.
• F − Serial monitor used to receive serial data from the board and
send the serial data to the board.
