Arduino on Raspberry Pi

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I have a Raspberry Pi for experimental purposes, with Raspian installed as the OS. I downloaded Arduino using the terminal application, and I do have a working version of the Arduino IDE. However, the boards I can select do not include and ESP32 boards, and the Preferences choice in the menu has no place to include a URL to add to the board manager.

Did I get some outdated download of the IDE, or are those boards simply not available in the Linux version.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Yes, when you use apt to install the arduino package you get an incredibly outdated version of the Arduino IDE. Please remove that dinosaur and install the real modern version of the Arduino IDE by downloading it from this page:

You need the "Linux ARM 32 bits" download for your Raspberry Pi.
