  Always make sure to download and constantly update to the newest version of the Arduino IDE. This will save a lot of headaches in the future.

  For additional details on installing and connecting your computer to the Arduino IDE, please see the link below:

  Don't move to the next step on this tutorial until you have successfully uploaded the "blink" sketch to your Arduino. By this time, you should understand how to select the Arduino board in the "tools" menu of the Arduino IDE. You should also be able to determine which COM port to select. Once again, work through this link if you are having issues:
