V0.2

v1 Out of beta.
Changelog : Moved all inside main :X now all works. Tweaked the download and extraction

As you can imagine it requires wget to download the ide.

Sorry for the delay, the v1 works as intended, u can use it as you like.

Any time I have needed to download the IDE for my Linux laptops I have just downloaded it and extracted the ZIP file to somewhere convenient.

I know it's the easy way to do it, but not the fun one. I'm working on a bigger project and this is just a copy+paste + edit + automated way to do it.

As I had specified on the title it's for command line only. Where u have to do.

mkdir $directory/Arduino
cd $directory/Arduino
wget https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-${download}.tar.xz
tar xvJf arduino-${download}.tar.xz
cd arduino*/
./install.sh
rm ../arduino-${download}.tar.xz

With this I'm simplifing my installation to arduino_installer.sh -c arm 1.8.2 . this will install arduino where the installer is (.)

Sorry for the bad impresions with the first version, I couldn't test it and ended up being a mess, and not working, version 0.2 woks but menu still not workin, I will do it by thursday, and the first version of the ACLH software I'm working on.
