Keil5 software can be downloaded form Keil website. Along with Keil5 you need to install Legacy support for ARM Cortex-M devices.
Once the softwares are installed, follow the below steps to setup Keil project.


Keil Setup Steps

Step1: Open the Keil software and select the New Microvision project from Project Menu as shown below.
