Install 2.0 on Linux

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I am attempting to install the 2.0.1 instance on ubuntu 16.04 LTS and when I attempt to execute the AppImage file nothing happens. I did make it executable.

Here is the contents of ps aux | grep arduino-ide

Hi @nefArduino. I don't know for certain that it is the cause, but Ubuntu 16.04 is quite outdated.

Have you tried the ZIP package (downloadable via the "Linux ZIP file 64 bits (X86-64)" link on the "Software" page)? It is possible the problem is specific to the AppImage package.

No. That is definitely not related to the problem. You are welcome to have both IDE versions installed simultaneously (I have about 200 different versions on my computer right now).
