These instructions describe an installation of the Arduino Software and drivers for an Arduino Uno on Mac OS X Lion, but will work the same for Leopard, Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. Previous operating systems may require you to search the web for your specific situation.
Arduino Uno Mac Os Driver
.Includes the following version of of the Windows operating system: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8, 8.1, Windows server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10. Also, as Windows 8 RT is a closed system not allowing for 3rd party driver installation our Windows 8 driver will not support this variant of the OS.
Follow these steps to install the Arduino software on your Mac:
1Go to the Arduino downloads page and click the Mac OS X link to download a .zip file containing a copy of the Arduino application for Mac OS X.
Currently, the file is 71.1MB. That’s quite a large file, so it may take a while to download. After you’ve finished downloading, double-click the file to the Arduino application and place it in your Applications folder.
2Plug the square end of the USB cable into the Arduino and the flat end into an available port on your Mac to connect the Arduino to your computer.
As soon as the board is connected, a dialog box appears, showing the message A new network interface has been detected.
