LetвЂ™s try open one such file: Under File > Examples > 01.Basics, choose Blink. The IDE comes with example files that we can use to test if everything works. The editorДЄfter that, we should see the IDEвЂ™s main editor window. We will get back to what this means later, but for now just click on Add. The first time we launch Arduino, a window will pop up asking to add us to the dialout group: If the script executes correctly and outputs done! at the end of its output, the IDE was installed correctly! LetвЂ™s try to launch it in the next step.Д«efore launching the IDE, connect your Arduino board to your computer with a USB cable.ДЄrduino should be available in the (Unity menu?) if not, it can be launched from the command line by running arduino.

To install the IDE, execute install.sh with. When the command finishes, run ls again tar should have created a new folder named arduino-(version number).Д¬d into the folder there will be a file named install.sh in the folder. The command can be read as * e Xtract from an archiveвЂ¦ * Verbosely (meaning it prints the name of every file it finds)вЂ¦ * from a file given by FILENAME.

Where FILENAME is the name of the download (typically arduino-(version number)-linuењ†4.tar.xz). In order to extract the files we need from the tarball, we can open a terminal, cd to where the downloaded tarball is, then run tar xvf FILENAME zip file, commonly used to distrubute software in Linux its file extension is usually.

A tarball is a type of compressed folder, like a. We can download the latest version of the Arduino IDE from the Arduino website ( here) as a tarball.
