Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, uisp, avr-libc, avrlib, and code
from Processing and Wiring.
INSTALLATION
Detailed instructions are in reference/howto.html.
If you are using a USB Arduino, you will need to install the drivers for the
FTDI chip on the board. These can be found in the drivers/ directory.
On Windows, you will need to unzip FTDI USB Drivers.zip. Then plug in the
Arduino board and point the Windows Add Hardware wizard to the FTDI USB Drivers
directory.
On the Mac, mount the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_0_1.dmg disk image and run the
included FTDIUSBSerialDriver.pkg.
Also, on the Mac, run the macosx_setup.command (after moving the Arduino
distribution to your /Applications folder). It corrects permission on a few
files for use with the serial port and will prompt you for your password. You
may need to reboot after running this script.
