The Package

Once you have the installer package (.zip) extract it and go to the extracted location. It contains,

./Explore-M3/

./ExploreM3Installer.exe

./ExploreM3TestSketch.bin

Install Explore M3 board

1. Run the installer (ExploreM3Installer.exe) 
For windows users, run as Administrator.
For non-windows users, you will need to run as root user.
2. Select the Arduino IDE installed directory.
