# A Makefile for Arduino Sketches This is a very simple Makefile which knows how to build Arduino sketches. Until March 2012, this was simply posted on my website where you can still find [what documentation](http://mjo.tc/atelier/2009/02/arduino-cli.html "Documentation") exists. If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, you can find this in the arduino-core package. ## User Libraries In order to use Arduino libraries installed in the user's sketchbook folder (the standard location for custom libraries when using the Arduino IDE), you need to set the `ARDUNIO_SKETCHBOOK` variable to point to this directory. By default it is set to `$HOME/sketchbook`.
