### Installing the MCL core.

*The documentation below is for advanced users*

MacOS / Linux:

1) Download the Arduino Legacy IDE [https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases) (1.8.5 tested)

2) Copy Arduino.app to your /Applications folder and launch it.
(Must be opened first before performing step below)

2) Get the MIDICtrl library and MegaCommand Core (same repo) and copy it to /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/ :
```
cd /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/
git clone https://github.com/jmamma/MCL
```
Windows:

The Arduino compiler (avr-gcc) does not like spaces within the full path name when compiling the custom core.

1) Download the Windows ZIP file for non-admin install
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases

2) Extract zip file to desktop.

3) Download MIDICtrl20_MegaCommand and extract to the `arduino-1.8.5\hardware\` folder.

4) If you have an admin-installed Arduino IDE, extract MCL to the arduino user directory `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Arduino\hardware\` (e.g. `C:\Users\your_name\Documents\Arduino\hardware\`)

### Selecting the Core

1) Open the Arduino IDE Application

2) Select: Tools -> Board -> MegaCommand
