Now that you have downloaded the zip file for the library, let’s install it. In this case, from the main page of the library, select a branch (here we keep “master” which is the main branch). You might also want to download the library with the very last changes (commits) – not necessary a tagged version. You may have more recent versions available.Ĭlick on the “zip” button on the selected version to download it as an archive. Note: the versions you see on the screenshot above are the ones I got when writing the tutorial. Now, you can choose whichever version you want to download – either the latest on the top, or any previous one. This will bring you to all the possible tagged version for the library. Download a specific version of the library…Īfter you’ve found the library on GitHub, click on “tags”. You can also go on GitHub first and type the library name on the search bar. In this case, let’s search for “IRremote github”, which leads us to the GitHub page for the library.

The easiest way to find the library is simply to search for “name of the library + github” on Google.

It can be installed directly from the Arduino IDE, but here of course we’ll do it the GitHub way. This library allows you to read data from an IR remote controller with Arduino. In this tutorial I will choose the IRremote library as an example.
