IDE 1.8.0 Released -- update: 1.8.10

UKHeliBob:
I have not been following this discussion but that made me giggle

what is funny about that?
hidden folders usualy are not visible by default, but by checking the filemgr option "show also hidden folders" they can be made visible.

But back to the topic:

thank you, I can't remember how I once installed Arduino IDE on my Pi or if I altered a prior installation, I once followed some instructions I found in the web (which I do not remember exactly).

Anyway, there is no hidden folder visible.

Is there meanwhile a working apt-get install version?
or just these commands I found here in this forum?

wget http://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.8-linuxarm.tar.xz
tar -x -f arduino-1.8.8-linuxarm.tar.xz

will that install automatically also the hidden folder?
if yes, can it be simply deleted, or do I have to change entries in preferences as well?

After that I assume that I'll just have to copy my old portable folde into the new 1.8.8 folder like for Windows, correct?
