Installing Mu Editor

Mu is a simple code editor that works with the Adafruit CircuitPython boards. It's written in Python and works on

Windows, MacOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi. The serial console is built right in so you get immediate feedback from your

board's serial output!

Installing Mu for Windows or Mac OS X

To install Mu for Windows or Mac OS X, head over to the Download Mu (https://adafru.it/BI8) page and follow the

instructions.

It's that simple!

Please note, the current Mu release doesn't have support for the NeoTrellis M4 board, in which case you should

install our builds:

Installing Mu for Linux

Each Linux distro is a little different, so use this as a guideline!

1. Mu require python version 3. If you haven't installed python yet, do so via your command line using something

like sudo apt-get install python3

2. You'll also need pip3 (or pip if you only have python3 installed) - try running pip3 --version . If that didn't work, you

ran sudo apt-get install python3-pip

3. Finally, run pip3 install mu-editor

4. You can now run mu-editor directly from the command line

You can also follow the instructions found here to install Mu using Python (https://adafru.it/BI9) and install Mu on a

Raspberry Pi (https://adafru.it/BIb).

Using Mu

Mu is our recommended editor - please use it (unless you are an experienced coder with a favorite editor

already!)
