I have a DHT11 sensor and I can not get the temperature and humidity data to plot on the display.
Could someone help me where I can download the sensor library for the mega arduino 2560 and also the script?

Do you have the current IDE installed? The library manager offers several libraries for that sensor (BTW, it's a rather bad one, quite inaccurate and low resolution). All the libraries have example scripts which print the values to the serial interface. Changing them to print to the LCD is a rather easy task.
You seem to know that you need a library. What happens when you type "dht11 library" or "how to install arduino library" into Google?

I downloaded a library that works, but it shows the data via serial, not display.
Good so far.
Have you checked the display works and can show some text like "hello"?

Exactly, by trial and error, until it works out.

Now you can use the same library for the LCD, use the DHT sketch that prints to serial and replace the Serial.print() calls by a lcd.print() (or whatever object you use for the LCD). Try that and post the resulting code if you still have problems.

What is happening in my case is that I have the 2560 mega arduino and most of the libraries I think are for the arduino uno. I have found a library that communicates with my arduino 2560 which is idDHT11, it worked, but on the serial monitor. Now I'm trying to make it work on the display, making some modifications, but it always appears compiling error for the board ArduinoGenuino Mega 2560
How are we to help you if you don't post the code and the error message(s)?

My arduino is the Mega 2560. The code that is below I downloaded and is working, it reads the data of the sensor and appears the humidity and temperature, but only in the serial monitor.

The code below was from a project that I found on the internet with the dht11 sensor along with a 1602 lcd display and an arduino uno. I made some adjustments to the code, the words temperature and humidity appear on the display, but this does not happen with data acquisition the sensor.

Please edit your post to add code tags. (See the how-to-use-this-forum guide.) The forum software eats some of your code if you don't.
You can upload and execute the following (tested) codes in your MEGA. I have used this Library.
#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2 // what digital pin we're connected to
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
float humidity;
float temp;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
dht.begin();
}
void loop()
{
delay(2000); //rsponse time of the DHT11 sensor
//-------------------------------------------------
humidity = dht.readHumidity();
Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(humidity);
Serial.print(" %\t");
//---------------------------------------------
temp = dht.readTemperature(); //degree celsius
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(temp);
Serial.print(" *C ");
//--------------------------
Serial.println();
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
To show the Humidity Value on Top Line and Temperature Value on Bottom Line of the LCD, you can place the following codes at the suitable places of the above program.
#include<LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2); //RS EN D4 D5 D6 D7
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.setCursor(0,0); //Display Position DP0 (0) of Top Line (0)
lcd.print("Humidity = ");
lcd.print(humidity, 2);
lcd.print("%");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1) //DP0 position of Bottom Line (1)
lcd.print("Temp = ");
lcd.print(temp, 2);
lcd.print(" ");
lcd.write(0xDF);
lcd.print("C");

This means the Adafruit_Sensor library is not installed properly on your computer. Did you download it? Did you put it in the right place?
If it came from Github, you need to remove "_master" from the folder name.
I'LL do what you recommeended.
I also did some downloads in the library manager of the arduino software.

I downloaded a bookstore that worked on my arduino mega 2560, but I can only read the sensor data on the serial monitor of the arduino software. Would you like to modify the code to throw that data on the display? I tried to, but until now I could not.
