This page shows you how to create a new MPLAB® Harmony project from scratch.
Before doing this, you'll need to do the following:
- Install the MPLAB X IDE
- Install the XC32 C compiler
- Install the MPLAB Harmony Configurator

1
In the MPLAB X IDE, selectFile > New Project. Select32-bit MPLAB Harmony 3 Project and clickNext.
If you don't see this option, you haven't installed the MPLAB Harmony 3 Configurator. See above for details.

Browse to the folder you downloaded the framework to. If you haven't done this, or want to download it to a different folder, click theLaunch Content Manager button. ClickNext.

| Location | Choose a folder to hold your project. You'll probably want to dedicate the framework download folder for framework files only, so do not choose that. |
| Folder | Choose an MPLAB X physical project name. |
| Name | Choose an MPLAB X logical project name (this can be different from the physical name). |
| Path | You cannot change this. It's generated by the selections above. |
