I am working on my very first project but have run in to a problem.
The code requires these library's but I can’t seem to install zipped or manually. They don’t meet the naming standard.
When you install the Arduino IDE via apt-get, you end up with an extremely outdated version of the IDE. That library naming restriction was removed years ago. Please always install the latest version of the official Arduino IDE downloaded from:
In case you're curious why the package manager version is so outdated:
The current IDE also has "Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries...". This is generally the best first place to look for libraries. It will allow you to download and install a library with a single click. Use the "Filter" box to specify a keyword when trying to locate a specific library or a library for a specific device. The Library Manager keeps track of the version of each library you install and will occasionally let you know that there are updates for a library you installed.
