Installing on Ubuntu 14.04

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I'm trying to install Arduino 1.6.7 on Linux and am getting this error when I try to run the IDE.

.../arduino-1.6.7/java/bin/java: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I'm a noob on Linux. I see that this may be a java problem and installed Java version 8. The error remained the same.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Learn to Google.

For the record, this is precisely the error you get if you try to use 64 bit applications on 32 bit Linux.

Well, you're the one who chose the wrong application to install. DUH.
