 =====Software:=====
-**NOTE: ** If you used a version of the ide where the digistump add-ons were installed separately you must delete the digistump folder at My Documents/Arduino/hardware (windows) or Documents/Arduino/hardware (OS X) or /home/[username]/Sketchbook (Linux) or this new IDE install will not work properly and you will get library errors!
+The Digispark uses the Arduino IDE 1.6.5+ (Arduino 1.6.5r2 - NOT 1.6.6 or 1.6.7 strongly recommended)
-The Digispark uses the Arduino IDE - Digistump Release 1.5.x which is the Arduino IDE with some custom additions and supports Digispark, Digispark Pro, and DigiX. These are presented as a fully integrated package with 1.5.x that can be downloaded as an installed or zip file.
+====== Installation Instructions: ======
-First download the appropriate package:
-      * Windows (now with fully signed drivers!)
+  *  **First download the appropriate Arduino package at the Arduino.cc website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software**
-          * Installer (recommended): https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8C/DigistumpArduinoInstall1.5.8C.exe
+  * If using Arduino 1.6.6 or higher and windows - you will need to download and install the drivers manually. Download, unzip and run "Install Drivers" (on 32bit systems)  or "DPInst64" (on 64bit systems). If you get stuck, try following the steps [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmDBvgrYGZs|shown in this YouTube video]]. The driver files are located here: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/1.6.7/Digistump.Drivers.zip
-          * Zip: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8C/DigistumpIDE1.5.8C.zip
+  *  **Install or Unzip the Arduino application.**
-      * Mac: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8C/DigistumpIDE1.5.8COSX.zip
+  *  **Run the Arduino application.**
-      * Linux:
+  *  **In the Arduino application go to the "File" menu and select "Preferences"**
-          * 32-bit: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8C/DigistumpIDE1.5.8C-linux32.tar.gz
+{{ :digispark:tutorials:preferences.gif?nolink |}}
-          * 64-bit: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8C/DigistumpIDE1.5.8C-linux64.tar.gz
+  *  **In the box labeled "Additional Boards Manager URLs" enter:** <code>http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json</code>
-      * Note: report any issues with the builds to the forum: http://digistump.com/board
+**and click OK**
+Note: If you already have additional URLs entered in that box, then click the button on the right of the box and enter this URL on a new line.

-**Compiling from source: ** https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino
+  *  **Go to the "Tools" menu and then the "Board" submenu - select "Boards Manager" and then from the type drop down select "Contributed":**
-==== Windows Install ====
+  * **Select the "Digistump AVR Boards" package and click the "Install" button.**
+{{ :digispark:tutorials:digispark_install.gif?nolink |}}
-  * Complete these steps before plugging in the Digispark (Pro)
+    *  **You'll see the download progress on the bottom bar of the "Boards Manager" window, when complete it will show "Installed" next to that item on the list.**
-  * Installer: Run the installer, when it pops up the driver install, install the drivers as well. When complete run the "Arduino IDE - Digistump Release" from your start menu.
+    *  **WINDOWS USERS: When complete the install with pop up a Driver Install Wizard window, please click "Next" on this Window to install the drivers for Digistump Boards** (If you already have them installed, this installer will update them and install any that are missing)
-  * Zip: Unzip and run the driver install - which is the "Install Drivers.bat" file inside the drivers folder. Then run Arduino.exe to run the IDE.
+    * **With the install complete, close the "Boards Manager" window and select the Digispark from the Tools->Boards menu. "Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz)" is the board that should be selected by all new users. **
+{{ :digispark:tutorials:pickdigispark.gif?nolink |}}
-==== Mac OS X Install====
+  *  **The install is now complete!** (Linux users see note below)
-  * Disable Gatekeeper by following this tutorial: [[digispark:tutorials:gatekeeper|Disabling Gatekeeper on OSX]]
-  * Unzip the App and drag it to your Programs folder - or whereever you would like to store it.
-  * Run the "Arduino - Digistump Release" App that you just unzipped.
-  * See the troubleshooting section below for any other issues.
 ==== Linux Install ====
-  * Untar
   * If you haven't before - Install the udev rules found here: [[http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/linuxtroubleshooting|Troubleshooting section]]
-  * Run the arduino executable
   * **ATTENTION LINUX USERS:** [[digispark:tutorials:linuxtroubleshooting|PLEASE CHECKOUT THE LINUX TROUBLESHOOTING PAGE**]]

 =====Using the Digispark with the Arduino IDE:=====
-The Digispark works a bit differently than some Arduino compatible products. Not only is there a special add-on to the IDE to support it, but it also programs with a different procedure.
