Use your Arduino/Genuino MKR1000 on the Arduino
Desktop IDE
If you want to program your MKR1000 while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDE
(//www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and add the Atmel SAMD Core to it. This simple procedure is done
selecting
, as documented in the Arduino Boards Manager
(https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Cores) page.

Installing Drivers for the MKR1000
With the SAMD core installed, you now proceed with the driver installation.
OSX
No driver installation is necessary on OSX. Depending on the version of the OS you're running, you may get a
dialog box asking you if you wish to open the “Network Preferences”. Click the "Network Preferences..."
button, then click "Apply". The MKR1000 will show up as “Not Configured”, but it is still working. You can quit
the System Preferences.
Windows (tested on 7, 8 and 10)
Connect the MKR1000 to your computer with a USB cable. Windows should initiate its driver installation
process once the board is plugged in, but it won't be able to find the driver on its own. You'll have to tell it
The Arduino Web Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and
support for all boards. Follow this simple guide
