#. [Step 1]
                        |  Download 7-zip (`Click Here <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/v1.0.2/7z2501-x64.exe>`_) to extract the arduino portable files. 
                        |  Run the installation application ``7z2501-x64.exe``
                        |  When prompted to allow the app to make changes, click **Yes**
#. [Step 2]
                        |  Download the arduino portable ZIP file for windows (`Click here <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/v1.0.2/arduino-1.8.19.zip>`_) 
                        |  After downloading, right-click on ``arduino-1.8.19.zip`` and click **Show more options**
                        |  Click on **7-Zip**, then in the extended branch click **Extract files…**
                        |  Extract the file to the destination ``C:\``, then click **OK**. The window will close when extraction is completed.
#. [Step 3]
                        |  Download the USB driver from the (`link <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/v1.0.2/CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip>`_). 
                        |  Install the USB driver by accessing the ``CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver`` folder and selecting the file **silabser.inf (Setup information file)**, then right-click and select **Install**.
#. [Step 4]
                        |  Download Blockly from (`here <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/V_BLK_0.1/ardublockly_Darwin64_2026-03-24_00.36.zip>`_)
#. [NOTE]
                        |  **PLEASE NOTE:** For Smorphi Advanced robot, please select the board as ``Arduino UNO`` and for regular Smorphi Square and Smorphi Single robot, please select ``ESP32 Dev Module``  The USB driver installation is required for the Smorphi robot to be recognized by the computer.
#. [SMORPHI_ADVNCD_USERS]
                        |  For Smorphi Advanced users, please download the sample bluetooth code from this (`Ref_Link <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/V_BLK_0.1/BLE_robot.zip>`_) for the BLE code to test bluetooth locomotion, test husky camera functionality (`Husky Code_1 <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/V_BLK_0.1/Smorphi_Advanced_husky_Code.zip>`_) , (`Husky Code_2 <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/V_BLK_0.1/Smorphi_Advanced_husky_2.zip>`_)  or can use the tutorial (`Sample Codes <https://github.com/WefaaRobotics/Smorphi_Board/releases/download/V_BLK_0.1/Smorphi.Advance.blocky.code.zip>`_) to test out different sensors and functionalities of the Smorphi Advanced robot using the blockly interface.
