How to set up the Arduino IDE and update all libraries
The default settings of the Arduino IDE are not optimal and do not adhere to system defaults under GNU/Linux, for example. A few adjustments make it easier to work with the development environment.
The Arduino IDE is quickly installed and can be used even better in "portable mode". Before you start, however, some settings should be optimised.
An additional directory makes the Arduino IDE much more usable!
There are many advantages to installing the Arduino IDE in "portable mode". This logically separates the actual IDE from the personal settings, libraries and core architecture.
A normal Arduino IDE installation quickly overflows with additionally installed libraries, board definitions and other things. You can hardly find your way around in this chaos. A small trick ensures that the actual development environment and data for your own projects are cleanly separated from each other.
Those who want to mine the Duinocoin (DUCO) need software to program an Arduino UNO/Nano or an ESP8266/ESP32. The easiest way to do this is to use the free and open source Arduino IDE.
The easiest way to program mining software on a microcontroller is to use the Arduino IDE (development environment). The free and open source software is offered by the Arduino Project as a free download for Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.
