Link to 2.0 install page broken and how to install on Linux Mint

[philchapman1964]

Hi,
I've been trying to find how to install on Linux Mint. I have downloaded an extracted the zip file.

I have found a wrong link to https://www.arduino.ccen/Tutorial/getting-started-with-ide-v2/ide-v2-downloading-and-installing which should be https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/getting-started-with-ide-v2/ide-v2-downloading-and-installing

So I try and execute ./aruido-ide and receive this error

phil@database ~/Downloads/arduino-ide_2.0.0-beta.3_Linux_64bit $ ./arduino-ide
bash: ./arduino-ide: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Any idea why please?

Thanks

The system info screen says "Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 32-bit" so you must use the 32-bit version of the Linux IDE.

Please tell us where you found that link so we can fix it.

Unfortunately, Arduino IDE 2.x is currently only available for 64 bit operating systems. Arduino IDE 1.8.13 does have a Linux 32 bit version, so you should be able to use that one instead:

Thanks guys. A fresh set of eyes this morning and I saw the issue and then read your replies. D'oh!

As for the broken link I found it after a search so I'm nor sure which page references it but I'll attached a screen shot with my search in the address bar and the result.

Cheers

And this is the search submission as I can't upload a screen shot.

Thanks so much for reporting this @philchapman1964!

I investigated the issue and have already submitted a fix. It will take a little while more before that fix propagates here to the website, but I'm sure your efforts will save some other Arduino community members from confusion.
