Arduino DownloadThe Arduino software (IDE) is open-source software. We are required to write the code and upload the code to the board to perform some task. The Arduino IDE software can be used with any type of Arduino boards. The software is available for various operating system such as, Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The steps to download the Arduino software are listed below: 1. Go to the official website of Arduino (https://www.arduino.cc/) > Click on SOFTWARE < click on DOWNLOADS, as shown below: Or Open the URL https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software 2. A page will appear, as shown below: 3. Scroll the screen a little, as shown below: 4. Click on the 'Windows Installer' as we are operating with the Windows.
