Application Description
**********

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are creating this software in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, developing a tool that allows users to document their Arduino and other electronic-based prototypes, and to create a PCB layout for manufacturing. The complementing website helps users to share and discuss drafts and experiences as well as to reduce manufacturing costs.

Fritzing is essentially an Electronic Design Automation software with a low entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. It uses the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it is easy to transfer your hardware sketch to the software. From there it is possible to create PCB layouts for turning it into a robust PCB yourself or by help of a manufacturer.

Download Instructions
**********

Please make sure your system satisfies these requirements:
Mac - OSX 10.7 and up, though 10.6 might work too

Unzip your Fritzing folder somewhere convenient on your hard drive.
This may also be a good time for you to create a shortcut to the Fritzing application.
A free unzipping program can be found here, should you need it.
If you are updating your release of Fritzing, your custom files (parts and bins) are not stored with the application, so they will not be destroyed if you delete the older version of the Fritzing application folder.

To start Fritzing:
on Mac: double-click the Fritzing application
