Arduino works as a combination of hardware and software. The hardware is the little blue micro controller itself, which executes the code you put on it. But how do you get code on the Arduino?
For this purpose you need a so-called Integrated Development Environment (or IDE for short). Arduino has a dedicated IDE for Mac, Windows and Linux, which allows you to manage and write code for your Arduino. Alternatively you can also decide to write code directly from your browser.
To get started, simply go to the link below and follow the instructions.
