Hello I am facing an issue with using Arduino CLI. I am attempting to upload a sketch on my arduino via Arduino CLI, but it fails every time. The error I see is " Error initializing instance: Error downloading library_index.json.gz: Get " https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/library_index.json.gz "…

Hi @anon67485727 . Are you still having the problem? I ask because it's possible this was a transient network outage that has since been resolved.

Hello, yes I am still having this problem. Could you please share the solution? Would I need to download a different version of Arduino CLI?

What version should I download to fix this?

No, its through an internet port.

Are you connecting to the Internet through a proxy?
