CHAPTER

INSTALLATION
This page guides you through the steps for collecting and installing everything you need to start programming.
1.1 What is needed?
To get started, you’ll need:
• A Windows 10 or Mac OS computer
• Internet access and administrator access
This is only required during the installation process. You will not need special access in order to
write and run programs later on.
• A micro SD card
You’ll need a card with a minimum capacity of 4GB and a maximum capacity of 32GB. Thistype
of micro SD card is also known as ‘micro SDHC’. We recommend using cards with the Application
Performance Class A1 rating.
• A micro SD card slot in your computer, or a card reader.
If your computer does not have a (micro) SD card slot, you can use an external USB (micro)
SDcard reader.
• A mini USB cable, like the one included in your EV3 set.
The typical configuration of this equipment is summarised in Figure 1.1.
