984984As of Arduino IDE 1.6.6, per-platform keywords can be defined by adding a keywords.txt file to the platform's
985985architecture folder. These keywords are only highlighted in the Arduino IDE when one of the boards of that platform are
986986selected. This file follows the [ same format] ( library-specification.md#keywords ) as the keywords.txt used in libraries.
987+ 988+ ## Post-install script
989+ 990+ After Boards Manager finishes installation of a platform, it checks for the presence of a script named:
991+ 992+ - ` post_install.bat ` - when running on Windows
993+ - ` post_install.sh ` - when running on any non-Windows operating system
994+ 995+ If present, the script is executed.
996+ 997+ This script may be used to configure the user's system for the platform, such as installing drivers.
998+ 999+ The circumstances under which the post-install script will run are different depending on which Arduino development
1000+ software is in use:
1001+ 1002+ - ** Arduino IDE** : (all versions) runs the script when the installed platform is signed with Arduino's private key.
1003+ - ** Arduino CLI** : (since 0.12.0) runs the script for any installed platform when Arduino CLI is in "interactive" mode.
1004+ This behavior
1005+ [ can be configured] ( https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/commands/arduino-cli_core_install/#options )
1006+ - ** Arduino Pro IDE** : (since 0.1.0) runs the script for any installed platform.
