I can't download a .zip library

Hi
I'm just trying to add a .zip library but the arduino is just popping that there's an ERROR: 13 INTERNAL.
The library I'm just triying to install is the RH_ASK.h library. I just downloaded in the github page.
Here's the link: GitHub - Haven-Lau/Arduino-Libraries: Arduino libraries I use
If someoone can help me, I'll be very thankfull, it's for a school project I'm trying to do
Thanks

that's a zip of tons of different libraries so the IDE feature for install from zip might not work

I would not install those, they are 8 years old copies of common libraries, many of those have been upgraded since ➜ just look at the names, type that name inside the library manager and download the latest and version.

that being said, if you want to install those outdated libraries:

  • download the zip into a folder on your desktop
  • unzip inside that folder
  • select all the folders that have been created by unzipping
  • move them over to the custom library directory of your Mac/PC (on my Mac it's under my home directory in Documents/Arduino/libraries)
  • start the IDE, it will update its list of known libraries

Hi, thank you very much for helping me, but how can I find my custom library directory in my PC?

in your preference window, at the top , there is the path for your Sketchbook folder

the library should be there. (I don't use windows)

Oh thanks I finally find it, thanks a lot!!

I've already moved the files unziped but it still have the problem. Here's the code:

#include <ELECHOUSE_CC1101.h>
#include <RH_ASK.h>

byte degree_symbol[8] = 
  {
    0b00111,
    0b00101,
    0b00111,
    0b00000,
    0b00000,
    0b00000,
    0b00000,
    0b00000                      
  };

#define size 30
byte buffer[size];

//Need to define output strings

String str_humid;
String str_temp;
String str_out;

RH_ASK rf_driver;


//

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  ELECHOUSE_cc1101.Init();
  ELECHOUSE_cc1101.SetReceive();
}

void loop() {
  
  pinMode(GDO0, INPUT);
  pinMode(GDO2, OUTPUT);
  
  byte temperature = 0;
  byte humidity = 0;  

  uint8_t buf[11];
  uint8_t buflen = sizeof(buf);

    str_out = String((char*)buf);

      Serial.print("Humidity: ");
      Serial.print(str_humid);
      Serial.print("  - Temperature: " + str_temp);
      Serial.println(str_temp);
      delay(1000);    
      
    ELECHOUSE_cc1101.SetReceive();
  }

And then it says: C:\Users\hangj\OneDrive\桌面\Comandos de Arduino\CC1101 (RECEIVER) CODE\CC1101 (RECEIVER) CODE.ino:7:10: fatal error: RH_ASK.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Compilation error: RH_ASK.h: No such file or directory

where did you install the RadioHead library? did you install the 2015 version of it? ➜ get the latest one from RadioHead: RadioHead Packet Radio library for embedded microprocessors

Take a look at " Importing a .zip Library" & "Manual installation" at Add libraries to Arduino IDE
