Cannot Install Arduino IDE on raspberry pi

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello,

I have been trying to install Arduino IDE on my raspberry Pi :

I tried :

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install arduino

but it did not work

I also tried:

Downloading Arduino for linux of 32 bit and 64 bit and also ARM,
and then

sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

BUT, that did not work either it.

IT SHOWED ME THIS ERROR:

sudo chmod 777 install.sh
pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/arduino-nightly $ sudo ./install.sh

Can anyone please tell me a solution?

Apurva_Patel:
Downloading Arduino for linux of 32 bit and 64 bit and also ARM

The "Linux ARM" download is the one you want.

Apurva_Patel:
Use --novendor to override

Well, did you try it?

Same issue in Odroid (also ARM) and I am using the arduino-1.8.2-linuxarm.tar.xz. Adding --novendor to the install.sh script removed most of the error messages but I still get the following:

Adding desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE...xdg-mime: file '/home/odroid/arduino/lib/cc.arduino.arduinoide.xml' does not exist
xdg-mime: file '/home/odroid/arduino/lib/cc.arduino.arduinoide.xml' does not exist
mv: replace '/home/odroid/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? y
mv: replace '/home/odroid/.config/mimeapps.list', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? y
 done!

but it appears to have installed ok

There is a related pull request here:

I had the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04.
I made a search with:

find . -name "*arduinoide.xml"

That returned:

./lib/arduino-arduinoide.xml

I edited the file install.sh and replaced the line:

RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide

for

RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide

It worked fine to me.

This trick seem to work (no errors and a nice icon on the desktop) however when clicking the icon, nothing happens...

I posted the a similar reply on Github
But just in case for those of you with the same issue
If you change cc.arduino.arduinoide into arduino-arduinoide, not only remove the cc. but also change the dot into a dash between arduino and arduinoide

You can open the install.sh file on the Raspberry Pi just normally in the simple text editor by right-clicking the file.Just save the file with the same name by replacing it.

and than execute the script in the terminal.
That should do the trick.

I had this issue on Linux Mint on my regular notebook.
Like said above - you have to do what Destroyer07 and achim_boers wrote. Then you normally run install script. It is posible that new-created desktop icons won't work. It's fine. Just find Arduino IDE in apps-menu ("start menu"/depending of your Linux distro) and then create proper desktop shortcut.

Arduino team - maybe you could fix this problem in next IDE? :slight_smile:

The fix has already been merged so guaranteed it will be fixed in the next release. In fact you can already find the fix in the hourly build:

Thank You, Destroyer07, it solved my problem. The only thing what I do not know, is why and how :slight_smile:

Hi,

Am unable to install the Arduino IDE on my Raspberry Pi 3.

Suggestions are appreciated.

excited to learn Arduino by completing practice projects but hung up in ide troubleshooting. is it becasue im trying to use ide within raspbian or possibly because its a 3B+?

It runs fine on Raspberry Pi even if you don't "install" with the script.

In a terminal, just use "cd" to change to whatever directory has the files you extracted, and use "./arduino" to run it. Easy peasy!
