Download and install Arduino IDE

Learn how to download and install the desktop-based Arduino IDE.


Installation instructions

	If you’re using a Chromebook, see Use Arduino with Chromebook.



Windows

Download the latest release
Follow the instructions in the installation guide.
When completing the setup, leave Run Arduino IDE ticked to launch the application, or launch it later from the Start Menu.



macOS

Download the latest release
Double-click the disk image (.dmg) file.
Drag and drop the Arduino IDE application into the Applications folder.
Launch Arduino IDE the same way you would launch any other application (such as ⌘ + Space for Spotlight and search for “Arduino”).



Linux

Download the file
Find the AppImage file in your file manager.
Make the AppImage file executable:
	

	
Right-click the file.
	
Choose Properties,
	
Select the Permissions.
	
Tick the Allow executing file as program box.
	
Double-click the AppImage file to launch Arduino IDE.

If Arduino IDE fails to open, and you see the text dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2 or AppImages require FUSE to run, you may be missing some dependencies[1]. Follow these steps:

Open the Terminal application.
Enter this command:
sudo apt-get -y install libfuse2
Press Enter and wait for the process to complete.
Close the Terminal window.
Try launching Arduino IDE again by double-clicking the AppImage file.

Additional download options

For a portable installation on Windows or Linux, use a “ZIP file” option:
	

	
ZIP file (Windows)
	
ZIP file 64 bits (X86-64) (Linux)
	
For more control in mass deployment, use the MSI installer package (Windows Installer) file.
