Hi there
I am following your build web servers v3 course and am having trouble on pg 59 where it tells me to go to
~/.arduinoIDE
I am going into applications and using show package contents to get to where I think that is telling me to go
The plugins folder and file didn’t seem to work there?
My folder structure doesn’t seem to match the images on pg 59 so I may be totally wrong about where to put the plugins folder? So I tried another spot in desperation as well (as you do)
My folders with both plugins folders showing to show where I put them each time
If either is/was in the correct spot when I restarted the Arduino IDE and try using the command palette i got which I think tells me they weren’t the correct spot
Any advice greatly appreciated
David

Hello David
- Which MacOS version are you using?
- What’s your Arduino IDE version?
- Are you typing exactly ” ~/.arduinoIDE/ ” in your finder? It must have that “.” dot. Please post a screenshot of your finder to see exactly what it finds when you type that (similar to the first screenshot on the eBook’s page 59)

There is also another alternative to open the ~/.arduinoIDE/ directly from the terminal window. Open your Terminal and type these 2 commands. It should open the correct folder:
cd ~/.arduinoIDE
open .
(NOTE: the command “open” is followed by a dot). Let me know if this option opens the correct folder.

I have Arduino IDE 2.3.6 and macOS 15.3.2
Those terminal commands did the trick for me and I now have LittleFS running and will work through the setup of my board with it
many thanks
