Issue: the downloaded compressed file should be in the Linux /home directory to run the extraction from Terminal Mode. A list command in /home shows nothing but using the Chrome OS files utility the .tar.xz file is listed in the My files > Linux files folder. I copied it there from the Downloads folder.
This is error message returned in terminal:
edthetermite@penguin:/home$ sudo tar -C /opt -xf arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz
tar: arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Not sure what is next step.....or where to find .tar file....
Was really hoping that path you suggested was a winner but got same file not found error message. I am close hopefully to figuring out where this file resides. Being a neophyte Linux user I am struggling in terminal mode. Find command has been fruitless, with a lot of 'permission denied' results.
I am a 'superuser' but in name only. Lol
My wife just got this new ASUS Chromebook for Xmas and I wrongly "assumed" running Arduino IDE on it would be a cinch. Web editor has its own set of issues as well. Appreciate your suggestions btw.
OK, well I had to guess at the location of the file based on the information you provided. You should be able to find where you put the thing. After that, adjust the command accordingly. Keep in mind that your original command will work fine if you run it from the same folder where arduino-1.8.19-linux64.tar.xz is located.
Worst case scenario, just download the file over again by running this command:
Bingo!!!!!!
Your wget seems to be the trick; I just had to add a 'sudo' at the front of that command line. The wget is downloading.
I am stoked thanks to you!
