Basic error??? Why can I not work this out?

Projects General Guidance

Hi. I am a newby to Arduino and I am wondering if I am trying to run before I can walk. I am trying to build a Web Server Data Logger which appears to be exactly what I need, but when I try to compile this project it keeps telling me that the Timer.h does not exist. I have created a subdirectory in Arduino/Libraries called Timer_Master as instructed and copied all of the Timer_Master files into it, including the Timer.h. Compiling the project failed with this error so I created a subdirectory called "src" and copied the relevent files into there but it still doesn't compile. Am I being really stupid here?

The error I get is:

C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino\sketch_Web-Server_Data_Logger\sketch_Web-Server_Data_Logger.ino:44:80: fatal error: Timer.h: No such file or directory

#include <Timer.h> // include Simon Monk's Timer Library

Any help would be appreciated.

Rename the Timer_Master directory just plain Timer.

Please post a link to where you're downloading the Timer library files from. Use the chain links icon on the toolbar to make links clickable when you post them to the forum.

If you install a library manually (not using Library Manager or "Add .ZIP Library...") you have to re-start the IDE for the library to be seen.

Are you using a Windows computer? If you're using a Mac you did it right but if it's a Windows computer you have to not unzip it at all and go to libraries, add .Zip find it, click it. Then go back into libraries in the ide and click manage libraries, find it, and click install

Library installation is the same on any operating system. If the .zip file has the right folder structure then you can use Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library... to install it but you can also do a manual installation as polopudding attempted if you like.

Ah. I don't use Mac, not sure why I thought it was different

Thank you guys. I was just being thick. All part of the learning process I guess.
