using raspberry pi 3 b+

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

i can only use raspberry pi 3 b+ to program my arduino uno. As the raspberry pi has an older version of the arduino ide will this be a major problem in doing projects

2

is the version of the arduino ide on the raspberry pi still usable as it is an older version

3

Why not use the latest corresponding version from Arduino?

Thanks

Probably not.

You have not told us what version of the IDE is on your RPi?

Why not upgrade to a newer version if you need the newer features (whatever they are - I'm still using 1.6.3 on this laptop for most things)

Probably not.

Yes I did a project just two months ago with a fresh install of the Pi 3 b+ and it worked fine.

I don't think you can get the latest version on raspberry pi if you can I'd like someone to tell me how

I don't have an RPi but I use Linux.

I just download the appropriate tar file, extract its contents to a suitable folder, CD to that folder, double-click the arduino file and it just works.

You can always gets the latest version (currently 1.8.5) of the IDE from here. For Raspberry Pi, download the Linux ARM version.
