Installing the LittleFS Plugin

Installing the Plugin

To get files from your computer onto the board you need the LittleFS Uploader plugin for Arduino IDE 2.x. Install it once:

Go to github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-littlefs-upload. Scroll down until you see the Installation section and click it to jump straight there.
GitHub can be overwhelming if this is your first visit.
Scroll down until you see this and click to download.
You should see a zipped folder in your Downloads.
Unzip it - a folder will appear alongside the zipped folder.
Navigate to your home folder. You need to find the .arduinoIDE folder - you may need to show hidden folders first (Ctrl+H on Linux). Inside it, create a plugins folder if it does not exist.
Copy the .vsix file into the plugins folder. Restart Arduino IDE.
