Hello,
I have not used Amforth
But the installation mechanisms are the same as for FlashForth:
https://arduino-forth.com/article/FORTH_FlashForth_installation_installerFlashForth
once FORTH is installed, you must write the programs in FORTH language and
have them compile by FORTH on the ARDUINO card.
FORTH is an interpreter and a compiler. We communicate with FORTH via
terminal software:

Unless I'm mistaken, you need an MKII programmer, because you can only
inject a .HEX file through this device. This operation overwrites the
original bootloader.
