Using putty if you're on windows, Ssh if you're on a linux based os Follow the following instruction if you dont know how to connect to raspberry pi Connect to Raspberry Pi using Putty

3- Download led binary file

Assuming you're connected with... copy and past this command If you're using Raspberry zero

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ionoid-io-projects/workshop_led_blinking/master/bin/arm6/led

If you're using Raspberry 3 b
