Correct installation instructions #189

Open per1234 opened 6 years ago

per1234 commented 6 years ago

The previous installation instructions recommended installing the library to the Arduino IDE installation folder. This is a terrible idea because all libraries installed there are lost whenever you update to a new version of the Arduino IDE. The correct place to install libraries is to the libraries subfolder of the sketchbook folder.

Note that an even better installation process is possible if https://github.com/ntruchsess/arduino_uip/pull/188 is merged and that PR contains its own installation instructions. So this pull request is intended as a temporary measure to help people do a correct installation with the current less than ideal folder structure.
