MPLAB is the programming environment used to write code for PIC microcontrollers. It is provided for free from Microchip.
Download and install the Full Release Zipped Installation in the default location. You can delete the downloaded .zip file afterwards.
To complete the installation, download and install the C32 Compiler. While MPLAB is free, the full version of the C32 Compiler is not. When you click on "MPLAB C Compiler for PIC32 in LITE Mode" you will be asked to register with Microchip. Do so and then you will be allowed to download and install the free academic version (LITE) of the Compiler.
