Step 3: Install the Netduino SDK
Now that you have the Visual Studio code editor and .NET Micro Framework software development tools installed, you must install the Netduino SDK. The Netduino SDK includes project templates that make it easy to get started with Netduino, USB drivers for Netduino, and other Netduino-specific tools.
Download the Netduino SDK from the Netduino downloads page: http://www.netduino.com/downloads/.
You may need to select between 32-bit and 64-bit options. Pick the one that matches your edition of Windows. If you don’t know which to pick, click on the Start Button to bring up your Windows Start Menu. Then right-click on Computer and select the Properties menu option. A window will pop up with information about your computer, including the System Type (32-bit or 64-bit).
Once downloaded, double-click on the Netduino SDK installer to start the installation process:
After the installer starts up, click Next. After you accept the license terms, click Next.
If desired, you may change the installation location of Netduino SDK. If you don’t have a good reason to change the default location, leave it as-is and click Next.
Click Install to start the installation process.
If Windows prompts you for permission to install the Netduino USB drivers, give it permission to do so.
