I have just downloaded Arduino IDE 1.6.10 onto my computer (ubuntu 32 bit). I cannot launch the IDE -there is no icon - and nothing that I click will start it! I would be grateful for any help. Thanks.

There is no installation necessary on Linux.
- Create a new directory and unzip IDE archive there
- Run the script "arduino"
If you want an icon to launch the IDE you have to create it yourself as with any other Linux program.

Hello, thanks for your reply. I downloaded the program and extracted it to my desktop. When I click on a file called 'arduino' i get a page of script which starts:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
APPDIR="$(dirname -- "$(readlink -f -- "${0}")" )"
for LIB in
"$APPDIR"/java/lib/rt.jar
"$APPDIR"/java/lib/tools.jar
"$APPDIR"/lib/*.jar \
There is another file called 'arduino-builder' -This doesn't do anything.
Thanks again! Tony.

You will have to make the script file (arduino) executable but changing the permissions of the file.
In a terminal window, navigate to the directory where your script is stored and type
sudo chmod 777 ./arduino
You might also be able to change the permissions by right-clicking the file and choose "properties" and then "permissions" and check the execute permission flags.
