After installing precompiled tools using the Arduino IDE and building the “Blink” example, the upload fails with this message:

Sketch uses 5954 bytes (0%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8388608 bytes.

I got the same problem on Mac and solved it as follows:

Install Homebrew; see:

https://brew.sh

Install libusb-compat with (in Terminal):

brew install libusb-compat
