Arduino Ide Mac Libraries

by

A catalogue of the 2809 Arduino Libraries. Arduino Library List. This site is generated automatically from the 2809 libraries registered in the Arduino Library Manager. The simplest way I've found to do this is store the libraries in your local sketch directory and create a symbolic link in the HOME/Arduino/libraries directory. Then you can check them in to Git easily with your sketch/project and Arduino's still happy because the libraries are accessible in the global folder. 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. The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the reference. To use the additional libraries, you will need to install them. How to Install a Library Using the Library Manager. To install a new library into your Arduino IDE you can use the.

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

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:

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.

Incorrectly installed libraries can cause many problems with the IDE.

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.

This is a common source of confusion on Windows and Mac machines, your sketchbook folder is not named 'sketchbook' it is named 'Arduino'!

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.

Arduino Ide Installation Libraries Folder Mac

On version 1.0.2 and later of the Arduino IDE, the 'Libraries' folder is created automatically. On earlier versions of the IDE, you may need to create it when you install your first library.

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.
