(Optional) Setting up the software – MDENet

You may have to install the following (Linux) packages:

arduino
gcc-avr
avrdude
Eventually, avr-binutils and avr-libc if they are not included

In addition to these packages, check that:

avrdude.conf must be in /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/ (if not you have to modify Makefiles).
The user should have the right to write on the USB port : usermod -aG dialout <username>
