You will need administrative priviledges to install the software

When it's done, restart the computer

Once its rebooted, start up **Terminal**, located in the **Utilities** folder

Plug in the Arduino, make sure the green light is on. \\ In the **Terminal **window, type in **ls /dev/cu.*** and/or **ls /dev/tty.*** which should give the following responses

 Make sure you see a line with the text **/dev/cu.usbserial-xxxxx** where the xxx's can be anything. Same for **/dev/tty.usbserial-xxxxx**. This indicates that the driver installed properly and that the Arduino was found.

If you can't find the text, verify that your Arduino is plugged in, try a different USB port.  \\ You can also try running the **Console** application, which will possibly give you some information about why its failing.
