Installation in Arduino CLI
----------------------------

To install the PSOC™ 6 microcontroller boards using the Arduino CLI, first make sure you have the latest version of the `Arduino CLI <https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.24/installation/>`_ installed.

Now you can add the Infineon PSOC™ 6 microcontroller boards package to the Arduino CLI:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ arduino-cli core install infineon:psoc6 --additional-urls https://github.com/Infineon/arduino-core-psoc6/releases/latest/download/package_psoc6_index.json

Finally, check if the package has been properly installed by running:

.. code-block:: bash

    $ arduino-cli core list

And... you are ready to develop |:construction_worker:|!
