+title: Getting Started with GIGA R1 / GIGA R1 WiFi
+description: A step-by-step guide to install the board package needed for the GIGA R1 / GIGA R1 WiFi board.

+tags: [GIGA R1, GIGA R1 WiFi, Installation, IDE]
+---
+
+To use the [Arduino GIGA R1](/hardware/giga-r1) / [Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi](/hardware/giga-r1-wifi) boards, you will need to install the GIGA board package, which is part of the [Arduino Core for mbed devices](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-mbed).
+
+To install it, you will need a version of the Arduino IDE, which you can download from the [Arduino Software page](). In this guide, we will use the latest version of the IDE (2.0.x).
+
+## Software & Hardware Needed
+
+- [Arduino GIGA R1](/hardware/giga-r1) or [Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi](/hardware/giga-r1-wifi)
+- [Arduino IDE](https://docs.arduino.cc/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.

+
+## Install Board Package
+
+To install the GIGA board package, open the "Board Manager" from the menu to the left. Search for **"GIGA"** and install the latest version (or the version you want to use).

+
+You should now be able to select your board in the board selector. You will need to have your board connected to your computer via the USB-C connector at this point.

+
+Congratulations, you have now successfully installed the GIGA 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 GIGA R1 board, which can be accessed directly in the IDE, through **File > Examples**. These examples can be used directly without external libraries.

+
+## Summary
+
+In this tutorial, we have installed the GIGA board package, using the Arduino IDE.
+
+For any issues regarding the GIGA board package, please refer to the [Arduino Core for mbed devices](https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-mbed).
