Have just downloaded the new latest ide. Used the linux 64 ZIP version.
I can extract ok, but what do I need to do to install?

Thanks

Hi
Yes I deleted Zip and used your recommendation as per the link. Opens up good.

On that page for Linux ( I am using LM20.3) has info reports:

To enable the Arduino IDE to access the serial port and upload code to your board, the following rule can be added to

/etc/udev/rules.d/99-arduino.rules

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0666"

I used terminal for the Subsystems command, but LM advises no such command.

In the sketch I have the 'show all ports' ticked. Note also that I have an older version of Arduino IDE on the computer. I have seen that you can have 2 versions.

At this time I have not been able to get a icon on the desktop but that is probably a Linux question.

Thankyou

Charles Harris

Unfortunately the instructions on that page are quite vague. That is not a command. It is the text contents you are meant to add to the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-arduino.rules file.

I'll provide instructions for an alternative way to accomplish this:

  1. Hover your mouse pointer over the following line:
    echo 'SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2341", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-arduino.rules" && sudo udevadm trigger && sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
  2. You will see an icon that looks like two pieces of paper appear on the right side of the line. Click that icon.
    This will copy the command to the clipboard.
  3. Open a command line terminal.
  4. Paste the copied command at the terminal prompt.
  5. Press the Enter key.
  6. You might now see a prompt for a password:
    [sudo] password for <username>:
    If so, type your password and press the Enter key.

The udev rules file will now have been created and activated. This rule file will give you the ability to upload sketches to most Arduino boards. For certain boards, additional rules might be needed but you can worry about that later if you encounter problems while uploading to a board.
