This guide takes you step-by-step through the process of installing Arduino libraries on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms.
Arduino Web Editor. Start coding online with the Arduino Web Editor, save your sketches in the cloud, and always have the most up-to-date version of the IDE, including all the contributed libraries and support for new Arduino boards.

Introduction The objective of this short post is to explain how to get the MAC address of the ESP8266. Explaining in detail what is a MAC address is outside of the scope of this post.
Close the Arduino IDE
First make sure that all instances of the Arduino IDE are closed. The IDE only scans for libraries at startup.
It will not see your new library as long as any instance of the IDE is open!Install Arduino Library Mac
Download the Zip FileMake sure to select a released version of the library. Some library repositories are still in development, and may contain unreleased or untested code. The 'Releases' button takes you to the tested and released versions.

Find it in the Downloads FolderOSX will automatically open the zip file there. |
Drag it to your Libraries FolderOpen your sketchbook Libraries folder and drag the master folder from Downloads into it. |
Give it a Legal NameThe IDE will not recognize folders with dashes in the name. So you must rename the Github Master Folder. Underscores are OK! |
Re-start the IDERestart the Arduino IDE and verify that the library appears in the File->Examples menu.Load one of the library examples to test. |
Verify that it CompilesClick the check-mark icon in the upper left and verify that the example sketch compiles without errors. |
