IRremote sketch compile errors

Want to get Mega2560 with IR receiver working with the IR remote that comes with the Starter Kit. Using the sketch example for lesson 17. Compiling the sketch gets errors on the three includes for RobotIRremote stuff at the beginning of the sketch. The instructions in the lesson for setting up the libraries doesn't make sense. I commented out these three includes for RobotIRremote and I did install the IRremote library. The sketch now compiles and runs successfully with the remote. But - am I missing something by not having the RobotIRremote library installed? I found a download for that, but it says the code has been "retired".

Welcome to the forum

It would be helpful to see your sketch. Please post it using code tags when you do

I don't have a clue how to use code tags. I see nothing in the header here that says it's a code tag.

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination
