I am clicking on the link provided for this on the following website:https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... rduino-ide
but all that happens is I navigate to the text of the file and it doesn't actually download to my computer. Is the link functioning correctly???

You need to download the file rather than opening it.In windows right click on it and then save. Why didn't you use the link at the top to get the pre-configured IDE?

Re: Can't Download Updated avrdude.conf file
Ah...OK now I see either you download the "fast way" file (which I did), OR you follow the "slow way" steps, which I was also trying to do. I won't try to download the new config file, since now I see I don't need to. I'm totally new to any of this--I mean I've never, ever played with a circuit board and I've never programmed with Arduino language, if that's even how you say it. I've just got this idea for a gadget, and I need to figure out how to make it....wish me luck. And thanks for the reply.
