Hello,
I have been working with the arduino Uno for about 2 years now and have just now started to use libraries. I understand how to install a library, but I was wondering if there was a way to install several at once.
I have about 43 zip files for different projects, but going sketch>Include Library>Add .zip Library is only OK for a few libraries as you have to put them into the IDE separately. I can do that, but it is just a hassle.
So i was hoping if anyone had a way to put several libraries in without doing them separately, even if it means moving the libraries to the IDE and then walking away for 5 minutes.
I am running version 1.6.9 if it helps.
PS for the people complaining as to why i have this many libraries, they for all sorts of things, such as memory reduction, touchscreen coms, external program communications, etc.
You can simply manually unzip the zip files to c:/program files(x86)/arduino/libraries or C:\Users\windows login name\Documents\Arduino\libraries
Oh and you will have to restart the IDE after doing that othrwise it wont be able to 'see' the new libraries.
Thanks!
I have been looking for a way to do this for ages and i never thought of placing them straight into the libraries folder.
They are all in there now. Without your help, this would have taken hours.

Be aware that, if you use the program files(x86)/arduino/libraries folder then you may run into library conflicts.
Arduino uses the users/..... folder when it updates libraries and it may install duplicates of libraries you have in the other folder.
It a frigging pain in the ar$hole I have to say.
If you modify any libraries yourself and you are using the users/.... folder then it may pay to rename them so that arduino doesn't go and overwrite your modifications when it updates again.
