Hi,
I am building a Marlin V2.0 based CNC machine and the designer has provided a custom firmware.
Marlin's V2.0 Github page states I need to use Arduino 1.9 (beta) to install this firmware on to a Mega2560.
I have uninstalled Arduino 1.8.0 and tried to install 1.9 but it does not seem to install in the conventional way and I cannot find an installer.
How do I install v1.9 without an installer file eg. Arduino-1.9.0.-windows.exe
Thanks
There's no need for an installer. Here's how to use it:
.zip file if you like, to free up some space on your hard drive.arduino.exe. Double click on that file to start the Arduino IDE 1.9.0 beta build. You might find it convenient to create a shortcut to that file and put it in your Windows "Start" menu.Hey, I'm doing the same thing (cnc, but RAMBo board) and I seem to be having nothing but problems with the Arduino software... I'm running 1.9.0, and it opens fine, but will not compile the code, and seems unable to see any ports. Arduino 1.8.8 sees the ports, and the board, and both Pronterface and Repetier-Host can see the board, and control it... I can't find any reason for Arduino 1.9 to be unable to see the ports, but I'm kind of a noob... It also reports back a list of errors in compiling that have to do with Github... Any ideas?

I don't know what could cause the problem with the ports. I just tested out the latest version of the Arduino IDE 1.9.0 Beta Build and it recognizes all the ports of the various devices I have connected to my computer. Do you know which USB to TTL serial adapter your board uses (e.g. ATmega16U2, CH340, FT232).

I can probably help with this, but only if you post the errors:
When you encounter an error, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button. In a message here, click the code tags button (</> on the forum toolbar) and then paste the error. If the text exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it to a text file and post it as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button here, you will see an "Attachments and other settings" link.
Ok, awesome... Thanks for the quick reply! So the errors I get that seem to pertain to github:

Error compiling for board RAMBo.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
As for the ttl, I'm not sure exactly, but I read somewhere we could use Arduino Mega 2560 for something... It's a RAMBo 1.4 board though... Not sure how much help that is...
So I just tested, and this error occurs straight out of the box on my machine... Like I uninstalled Arduino 1.8.8, downloaded Arduino 1.9.0, and just trying to verify/compile a blank sketch, it throws the same set of errors, even after deleting the "additional boards manager URL" in Preferences... Could this be a Windows 8 issue?
I'm going to test your hypothesis that the issue might be related to Windows 8, but it will take a while for me to get that version of Windows downloaded and installed on a virtual machine.
Until then, I have something you can try:
This will ensure that the Arduino IDE is operating isolated from any influences of previous installations. Do you still get the error after following the above instructions?
Wow... I really hope you know how much I appreciate all the effort you're putting into helping me find a solution for this... I'll try your suggestion after I get my kid to bed... I'd like to note that I took a different approach to testing my hypothesis, and tested downloading Arduino on a different machine that's running Windows 10, but unfortunately still had errors... It found the port, seemed to connect, unfortunately it threw a whole host of new errors... When I get to my computer I will post them... Do people normally have this much trouble getting this to work?
So I just tested your idea, and it doesn't seem to change anything... Just making a folder called "portable" makes the program operate isolated? Anyway, same errors, still no ports... Was there anything else I was supposed to do with that folder?
So... May have an update to the situation... Not sure if it's because of the "portable" folder, but I tried adding libraries, and those didn't work out, either...
Never mind... I deleted the "portable" folder, and the libraries I used to have are now installed again... And again, same errors... Sorry for spamming...
DmitriKoslov:
Just making a folder called "portable" makes the program operate isolated?
Correct.
DmitriKoslov:
Was there anything else I was supposed to do with that folder?
No. Just creating a folder named portable in the Arduino IDE installation folder and then restarting the Arduino IDE causes the Arduino IDE to run in portable mode.
DmitriKoslov:
Anyway, same errors
I'm sorry to hear that. I was not able to install Windows 8 because Microsoft no longer provides a download for that version. I did install Windows 8.1 and tested the Arduino IDE 1.9.0 beta build with that operating system but I couldn't reproduce your issue.

Ok, so I tried compiling a blank sketch both with, and without a "portable" folder, and the errors are the same, but I'll attach both error messages. I enabled verbose for both. Also, I was unable to install the U8Glib LCD library when running with a "portable" folder...
Arduino(portable).txt (8.58 KB)
Arduino(not portable).txt (7.35 KB)
You're introducing extra variables by using the RAMBo board and trying to install this library. Before even thinking about any of that, we need to deal with is getting the unmodified Arduino IDE to compile. Please do this:
Does the error still occur?
I'm having the same issue as the OP, however with build 116. New computer, no previous Arduino install.
I opened Arduino.exe, confirmed the Arduino Uno board and then hit the 'Verify' button. I then also activated verbose output and created a folder named 'portable' as suggested above.
These are the messages I am still receiving:

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.
Any ideas?

PedalToTheMetal:
I'm having the same issue as the OP, however with build 116.
What is your reason for using the beta build of the Arduino IDE?
Mainly because I wanted to try the auto-complete feature.
That's certainly a legitimate reason to want to use the beta build. I'm using the same build on Windows 10 in portable mode and I can't reproduce the error. Does this happen no matter what sketch you compile? Does it happen if you compile the bare minimum sketch (File > New)?
Yes.
All I did was to unzip the downloaded file, added a folder ‚portable‘ and ran Arduino.exe. Maybe some other step would have been required!?
No big deal, I will simply install the latest released version. I mainly wanted to provide feedback regarding this possible issue.
Oliver
No, that should be fine. It's not necessarily essential to use portable mode, so you could try closing the IDE, deleting the portable folder, starting the IDE, then trying to compile again to see if that is the cause. I don't have any reason to suspect that it is and I've used build 116 in both portable and non-portable mode with no problems.
The beta build does tend to be a bit more likely to have strange bugs. Arduino is currently in the process of making a major change in the Arduino IDE to use the new arduino-cli tool, which is still in the beta phase of development. So this is causing the beta build to be a bit more unstable than usual, but in the end will be a huge improvement. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with the inner workings of arduino-cli and its interactions with the other components of the IDE, so I can't say what exactly the problem is. Sometimes it's best to just wait a while for a new beta build to come out and hope it has been fixed by then. Perhaps someone else here will be able to provide some better assistance.
