Hi @jdolecki. Thanks for your report.

Arduino IDE should automatically create this folder for you if it is missing. Unfortunately there was a bug in Arduino IDE 2.0.0 that made it not create the folder:

The bug has already been fixed, but the fix was made after the 2.0.0 release, so is only available from the nightly builds at this time.

I'll provide instructions you can follow to resolve the problem:

  1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus to open the "Preferences" dialog.
  2. Click the BROWSE button on the right side of the "Sketchbook location" field.
  3. A "Select a new sketchbook location" dialog will now open. Select the folder you would like to use as your sketchbook folder. You are welcome to create a new folder for this purpose if you like.
    ⓘ The sketchbook folder is where the Arduino IDE installs libraries. It is also a convenient place to store your sketches, since they can be opened via the File > Sketchbook menu.
  4. Click the Choose button in the "Select a new sketchbook location" dialog.
  5. Adjust the "Editor font size" preference to the size you want.
  6. Click the OK button in the "Preferences" dialog.

Thanks that worked.

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
