+---
+
+To use the [Arduino UNO R4 WiFi](/hardware/uno-r4-wifi) board, you will need to install the UNO R4 WiFi board package, which is part of the [Arduino Core for renesas devices](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas).
+
+To install it, you will need a version of the Arduino IDE, which you can download from the [Arduino Software page](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). In this guide, we will use the latest version of the IDE (2.0.x).
+
+## Software & Hardware Needed
+
+- [Arduino UNO R4 WiFi](/hardware/uno-r4-wifi)
+- [Arduino IDE](/software/ide-v2)
+
+***You can also use the [Web Editor](https://create.arduino.cc/editor) which comes with all Arduino boards pre-installed.*** 
+
+## Download & Install IDE
+
+1. First, we need to download the Arduino IDE, which can be done from the [Arduino Software page](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/).
+2. Install the Arduino IDE on your local machine.
+3. Open the Arduino IDE.

+
+Congratulations, you have now successfully installed the UNO R4 WiFi board package via the Arduino IDE.
+
+## Compile & Upload Sketches
+
+To compile and upload sketches, you can use the:
+- **Checkmark** for compiling code.
+- **Right arrow** to upload code.
+
+There are several examples available for the UNO R4 WiFi board, which can be accessed directly in the IDE, through **File > Examples**. These examples can be used directly without external libraries.
