Finally click on install and wait for the IDE to install the new library. Downloading

may take time depending on your connection speed. Once it has finished,

an Installed tag should appear next to the Bridge library. You can close the library

manager.

You can now find the new library available in the Include Library menu. If you want

to add your own library open a new issue on Github.

Importing a .zip Library

Libraries are often distributed as a ZIP file or folder. The name of the folder is the

name of the library. Inside the folder will be a .cpp file, a .h file and often a

keywords.txt file, examples folder, and other files required by the library. Starting

with version 1.0.5, you can install 3rd party libraries in the IDE. Do not unzip the

downloaded library, leave it as is.

In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library. At the top of the drop down

list, select the option to "Add .ZIP Library''.
