 Now that your module is successfully connected, you will need to install some software on your computer to interface with it.

Follow the link below for the installation instructions:
 
-- [Atom](/pymakr/software/atom/)
+- [Atom](/gettingstarted/software/atom/)
 
-- [VS Code](/pymakr/software/vscode/)
+- [VS Code](/gettingstarted/software/vscode/)

+If everything is correct, the terminal will show `>>>`.
