Installing the Arduino IDE

First you need to download and install the Arduino IDE (install the Arduino IDE, not the web editor). Here are installation instructions for a few operating systems:

Windows
Linux
Mac OS X

Compile and upload

1. Plug in the Arduino Pro Micro to a free USB port. Drivers should be installed automatically.
2. Start the Arduino IDE.
3. Load the project (*.ino file) you wish to upload from the menu File / Open...
4. In the menu Tools / Board, select "Arduino Leonardo".
5. In the menu Tools / Port, select the COM port for the Arduino, it should say something like "COM12 (Arduino Leonardo)".
6. To compile and upload the code, use the menu option Scetch / Upload. Check the black status window on the bottom of the IDE.
