Install nBlocksStudio and mbed-cli

Install Python

• Download 32 bit windows installer for Python 2.7 (dont use 64bit Python installer, issues with pip)
• Configure installer for adding Python path to system path and complete Python 2.7 installation
• Restart Windows (otherwise pip fails)
• Test Python and pip from command line:

Python --version 

pip --version 

Both should work from any directory

pip install mbed-cli

  If the project is copy from somebody else's project, probably have to fork to your own mbed space

• With administrative rights,

mbed import https://developer.mbed.org/users/chalikias/code/frequency_counter/ 

• for a list of supported targets

mbed compile -S
