user39014: I think it will become readily apparent that i have absolutely zilch programming experience as I am currently going out my mind with a problem i am having trying to get my first arduino uno project off the ground. I am simply attempting to acquire the necessary libraries including a TimeLib.h library file, but however i seemingly cant even figure out how exactly to complete that very simple first step. I am giving it a serious go trying to break into this interesting field and would greatly appreciate any advice anyone could generously provide.
With regards,
Newcomer

user38949: If you are using the Arduino IDE then you first need to include the library then you can put #include <TimeLib.h> at the top of your sketches.
There is plenty of documentation online about how to use Arduino. To solve your immediate problem I would go here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries
