"ArduinoParty", uncompress ArduinoParty.zip. It should contain a folder
calledArduinoParty, with files like ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h inside. (If
the .cpp and .h files aren't in a folder, you'll need to create one. In this case, you'd
make a folder called "ArduinoParty" and move into it all the files that were in the
ZIP file, like ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h.)
Drag the ArduinoParty folder into this folder (your libraries folder). Under Windows,
it will likely be called "My Documents\Arduino\libraries". For Mac users, it will likely
be called "Documents/Arduino/libraries". On Linux, it will be the "libraries" folder
in your sketchbook.
Your Arduino library folder should now look like this (on Windows):
My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.cpp
My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.h
My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\examples
or like this (on Mac and Linux):
Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.cpp
Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.h
Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/examples
....
There may be more files than just the .cpp and .h files, just make sure they're all
there. (The library won't work if you put the .cpp and .h files directly into the
libraries folder or if they're nested in an extra folder. For example:
Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty.cpp and
Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.cpp won't
work.)
Restart the Arduino application. Make sure the new library appears in the Sketch-
>Import Library menu item of the software. That's it! You've installed a library!
Arduino Serial Monitor (Windows, Mac, Linux)
The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the software side of the
Arduino platform. And, because using a terminal is such a big part of working with
