How to get Arduino 1.8.11 to run on Rasbian Buster

Hi
I've been looking all over for a tutorial on how to install and run Arduino 1.8.11 or other recent versions on Raspbian Buster. I need to program up an Attiny 85 chip and can no longer do it under Windows 10 since I've upgraded from Windows 7.

Thank you.

Why can't you program it in windows 10? I have win10 on both my main computer and I program all sorts of chips all the time. if the win10 computer is your main system, I would suggest you get Arduino working on that, as it would probable be a lot more convenient - win 10 generally doesn't present major problems, and if you show us how it's misbehaving on win10, lots of people will be able to tell you how to get it sorted, because tons of people use arduino on windows 10.

of course, if you prefer to use your pi to program arduino devices, go right ahead. Again, I don't recall having any problems making it work - just downloaded the arm version of Arduino, ran setup script, and all was well

My issue with Windows 10 is that I'm using the TinyLoadr AVR Programmer. It requires using the USBTinyISP driver. I was able to get that to work under Windows 7 if I plugged the programmer into a USB hub. Now, I can't even get that to work. I've tried re-installing the driver but I if it supports Windows 10, I don't know where to find it.

This is why I'm pursuing the Raspberry Pi route. I'm looking for something that works.

Thanks

I just got 1.8.11 working (almost! - see below) on a Pi 4 last night. Mine's running Octopi as part of a 3D printer setup, but that's really just a stripped down version of raspbian.

I was not successful in installing the IDE with sudo apt-get arduino or sudo apt-get avrdude. The install would run and appear to work, but when I tried to launch the IDE, I'd get the hourglass for about 10 seconds then nothing.

After uninstalling and purging all things Arduino from the Pi, I downloaded the 32-bit ARM version from here, decompressed if to /opt with full paths, then did sudo ./opt/install.sh

Once that was done, I did ./arduino-linux-setup [username] Done. IDE came right up and I was able to compile a test sketch.

The only issue I'm having is trying to retrieve library indexes via the Library Manager. There's some issue with connecting to downloads.arduino.cc. Pretty sure it's an issue with the IDE because I can copy the URL from the error log and get right to the site with a browser.

The last time I faced that issue it was both a windows permissions error and driver error in win 10.
The permissions error is very easy to fix but for the driver I used Zadig
