In this section, we are going to install all of the tools that we will need in the hands-on part of this book: the Arduino IDE to upload code, Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 board drivers, Visual Studio Code to open non-Arduino code files, and Mosquitto, an MQTT server and toolkit for easy prototyping.
We will also set up an account on shiftr.io, a free MQTT web service, which comes with a useful dashboard.
Additional libraries, which are only needed in one of the hands-on projects, will be set up in that specific chapter.
