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 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 and install Mu on a Raspberry Pi.

Using Mu

Now you're ready to code! Lets keep going....

Mu Packages

Mu is currently being developed. So there are lots of changes being made! Current versions are available from links at the bottom of this page. However, use at your own risk! These are not stable versions and come with no guarantees of working.
