Arduino IDE Installation for Linux

Arduino IDE Installation for Linux

 Hello friends, in this article I will explain how Linux users can install the Arduino IDE. It is actually a very easy process, so without making the text any longer, let's move on to the explanation.

First, click here and download the version of Arduino IDE appropriate for your Linux distribution (for x32, x64, or ARM-based Linux...)

If your computer uses a 32-bit and regular processor, select x32; if it is 64-bit, select the x64 version. If you have a processor running with ARM architecture, just select the ARM version.

After our program is downloaded, open the console in Downloads and type "tar -xf arduino-1.8.13-linux64.tar.xz" and wait for the files packaged with tar.xz to be extracted. The important point here is to write 1.8.13 according to the version you downloaded.

As you can see, a file named arduino-version.code appeared after doing this. Now, let's move this extracted file into the opt folder so that if we later accidentally delete the file from here after installing Arduino, we won't get an error. 

To do this, it is sufficient to write the following: "sudo mv arduino-1.8.13 /opt" Here, again, don't forget to change the 1.8.13 part with the version code you downloaded!

 As you can see, we have moved the file, and now we will enter this directory and run the "install.sh" command script inside.

To enter the folder via the command line, we write "cd /opt/arduino-1.8.13"; for Arduino IDE 1.8.13, remember to update the 1.8.13 part with your own version!

After entering the folder, when we run the command "sudo ./install.sh", the installation will be completed automatically, and Arduino IDE will start to appear both on the desktop and on the launcher.

If you have seen the message "Done!", it means it has been installed without problems.

If a shortcut does not appear on the desktop or launcher even though it says "done!", try reinstalling directly with the "./install.sh" command without sudo; this time the shortcuts should be created.
