To install, first download the [latest version](https://github.com/HomeSpan/HomeSpan/releases/latest) of *Source Code (zip)* to your desktop. It does not matter if your operating system keeps the package in zip form, or automatically unzips it when saving to you desktop. Next, from the top menu bar within the Arduino IDE, select *Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library...* and navigtate to the Desktop folder where you should see the HomeSpan package you just downloaded (either as a zip file, or a folder). Select the package (don't open it) and click `Choose`. This directs the Arduino IDE to copy the HomeSpan package into its library sub-folder. HomeSpan is now ready for use as a standard Arduino library (you may delete the HomeSpan package from your desktop as it is no longer needed). +HomeSpan is packaged as a standard Arduino library and can be installed either automatically from the Arduino IDE, or manually via GitHub. + +* To install automatically, open the Arduino Library Manager from wihtin the Arduino IDE by selecting *Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries...* from the Arduino menu bar.
