Thanks @dankeboy36,
I pulled my older RPI4 with external SSD again to try this out.
I ran your script. and it went a long ways 
However, if failed as the go language was not installed.
I downloaded and installed it from: Download and install - The Go Programming Language
Run the script again and it made its way through, and started up the IDE window, but
appeared like maybe it stopped running.
Was not sure best way to start it again.
So I decided to then follow the steps again in:
arduino-ide/docs/development.md at main · arduino/arduino-ide
So I followed the steps to bundle the application:, I cd to the arduino-ide directory
- Rebuild the native dependencies for electron
yarn --cwd electron-app rebuild
- Bundle the frontend and backend applications with
webpack
yarn --cwd electron-app build
- Package the application
yarn --cwd electron-app package
And it built both the zip file and the appimage file in the
/electron-app/dist directory.
I tried running the appimage it failed.
I then did: sudo apt install libfuse2
and then ran the appimage and it came up
I may go mark this as solution.
