 =====Software:=====
-The Digispark Pro 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.
+The Digispark Pro uses the Arduino IDE 1.6.5+  (Arduino 1.6.5r2 - NOT 1.6.6 or 1.6.7 strongly recommended)
-First download the appropriate package:
-      * Windows (now with fully signed drivers!)
+====== Installation Instructions: ======
-          * Installer (recommended): https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8A/DigistumpArduinoInstall1.5.8A.exe
-          * Zip: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8A/DigistumpIDE1.5.8A.zip
-      * Mac: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/v1.5.8A/DigistumpIDE1.5.8AOSX.zip
-      * Linux: See linux section below.
-      * Note: report any issues with the builds to the forum: http://digistump.com/board

+  *  **First download the appropriate Arduino package at the Arduino.cc website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software**
-  * 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.
+  *  If using Arduino 1.6.6 or higher and windows - download, unzip, and run "Install Drivers" from here: https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino/releases/download/1.6.7/DigistumpDrivers.zip
-  * 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.
+  *  **Install or Unzip the Arduino application.**
+  *  **Run the Arduino application.**
+  *  **In the Arduino application go to the "File" menu and select "Preferences"**
+{{ :digispark:tutorials:preferences.gif?nolink |}}
+  *  **In the box labeled "Additional Boards Manager URLs" enter:** <code>http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json</code>
+**and click OK**
-==== Mac OS X Install====

-  * Unzip the App and drag it to your Programs folder - or whereever you would like to store it.
+    *  **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)
-  * Run the "Arduino - Digistump Release" App that you just unzipped.
+    * **With the install complete, close the "Boards Manager" window and select the "Digispark Pro" from the Tools->Boards menu. "Digispark Pro (Default 16mhz)" is the board that should be selected by all new users. **
-  * See the troubleshooting section below for any other issues.
+{{ :digispark:tutorials:pickpro.gif?nolink |}}
-==== :Linux Specific ====
+  *  **The install is now complete!** (Linux users see note below)
-Compile from our github sources or use the beta package here as a starting point: http://digispark.s3.amazonaws.com/digisparkpro_linux.zip (very beta - someone please update?) - Linux beta build compiled by netguy204 - thanks!
-Make sure you installed  lib32stdc.
+==== Linux Install ====
-by issuing: apt-get install lib32stdc++6
+  * If you haven't before - Install the udev rules found here: [[http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/linuxtroubleshooting|Troubleshooting section]]
   * **ATTENTION LINUX USERS:** [[digispark:tutorials:linuxtroubleshooting|PLEASE CHECKOUT THE LINUX TROUBLESHOOTING PAGE**]]
-  * Install the udev rules for the Digispark/Digispark Pro (same rules for both)
-  * Use the udev rules found here: [[http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/linuxtroubleshooting|Troubleshooting section]]

 You'll see the upload progress and then it will immediately run your code on the Digispark Pro.
-If you unplug the Digispark Pro and plug it back in or attach it to another power source there will be a delay of 5 seconds before the code you programmed will run. This 5 second delay is the Digispark Pro checking to see if you are trying to program it.
+If you unplug the Digispark Pro and plug it back in or attach it to another power source there will be a delay of 5 seconds before the code you programmed will run. This 5 second delay is the Digispark Pro checking to see if you are trying to program it. After the 5 second delay when the bootloader launches the stored program, the USB device will typically go away (and may report a failure to install, or "Unknown Device") unless the nature of the 'sketch' is to act as a USB device.
