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, follow these steps:

Installing Mu for Linux

Each Linux distro is a little different, so use this as a guideline! These instructions will also work for Mac OS X, but you'll want to use brew instead of apt-get

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 directly from the command line

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