-"Installing Additional Arduino Libraries\n" +
-"----------------------------------------\n" +
-"Once you are comfortable with the Arduino software and using the\n" +
-"built-in functions, you may want to extend the ability of your Arduino\n" +
-"with additional libraries.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"What are Libraries?\n" +
-"----------------------------------------\n" +
-"Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect \n" +
-"to a sensor, display, module, etc. For example, the built-in \n" +
-"LiquidCrystal library makes it easy to talk to character LCD displays. \n" +
-"There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for \n" +
-"download. The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries\n" +
-"are listed here: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Libraries. To use the\n" +
-"additional libraries, you will need to install them.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"How to Install a Library\n" +
-"----------------------------------------\n" +
-"Libraries are often distributed as a ZIP file or folder. The name of the \n" +
-"folder is the name of the library. Inside the folder will be a .cpp \n" +
-"file, a .h file and often a keywords.txt file, examples folder, and other\n" +
-"files required by the library.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"To install the library, first quit the Arduino application.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"Then uncompress the ZIP file containing the library.  For example, if\n" +
-"you're installing a library called \"ArduinoParty\", uncompress\n" +
-"ArduinoParty.zip.  It should contain a folder called ArduinoParty, with\n" +
-"files like ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h inside.  (If the .cpp and\n" +
-".h files aren't in a folder, you'll need to create one.  In this case,\n" +
-"you'd make a folder called \"ArduinoParty\" and move into it all the files\n" +
-"that were in the ZIP file, like ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h.)  \n" +
-"\n" +
-"Drag the ArduinoParty folder into this folder (your libraries folder).\n" +
-"Under Windows, it will likely be called \"My Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\".\n" +
-"For Mac users, it will likely be called \"Documents/Arduino/libraries\".\n" +
-"On Linux, it will be the \"libraries\" folder in your sketchbook.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"Your Arduino library folder should now look like this (on Windows):\n" +
-"  My Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\ArduinoParty\\ArduinoParty.cpp\n" +
-"  My Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\ArduinoParty\\ArduinoParty.h\n" +
-"  My Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\ArduinoParty\\examples\n" +
-"  ....\n" +
-"or like this (on Mac):\n" +
-"  Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.cpp\n" +
-"  Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.h\n" +
-"  Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/examples\n" +
-"  ...\n" +
-"or similarly for Linux.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"There may be more files than just the .cpp and .h files, just make sure \n" +
-"they're all there.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"(The library won't work if you put the .cpp and .h files directly into\n" +
-"the libraries folder or if they're nested in an extra folder.  For \n" +
-"example:\n" +
-"  Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\ArduinoParty.cpp and\n" +
-"  Documents\\Arduino\\libraries\\ArduinoParty\\ArduinoParty\\ArduinoParty.cpp\n" +
-"won't work.)\n" +
-"\n" +
-"Restart the Arduino application. Make sure the new library appears in the \n" +
-"Sketch->Import Library menu item of the software.\n" +
-"\n" +
-"That's it! You've installed a library!\n"));
