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!
- 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
- You'll also need pip3 (or pip if you only have python3 installed) - try running
pip3 --version
. If that didn't work, you ransudo apt-get install python3-pip
- Finally, run
pip3 install mu-editor
- 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.
Now you're ready to code! Lets keep going....
