 h2. Procedure: 

 # Download and install 7zip if you don't already have it.    You will need it to decompress the .tar.gz file.   
 ## http://www.7-zip.org/ 
 # Install a recent Java JRE 
 ## http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

 # You will be presented with some terse instructions.    I am still determining what they mean. 
 # click on menu: Window > Preferences 
 ## click on Arduino 
 ## Make sure that the Arduino IDE path is correct.    Something like c:/Programs/Arduino
