I also created an Arduino Command Line Cheatsheet that you can download for future reference.

If you are new to the Arduino platform or would just like to refresh your knowledge, please see our Blink: Making An LED Blink On An Arduino Uno tutorial before proceeding with this one. A basic understanding of electronics and programming is expected along with some familiarity with the Arduino platform. This tutorial will teach you how to compile and upload Arduino sketches from the command line.
