Not able to open Arduino IDE

sunhouse · April 8, 2024, 12:20pm

So...i am not sure what i did but now Arduino won't open. First time i installed it it was opening but when i tried to add the ESP32/82 libraries it didnt let me install them. So i tried looking for the solution on the internet and it said i had to delete the files in the packages folder and then try again installing them. That didnt work so i decided that maybe i should install it again but after that it won't open. I also tried to download and use the zip file but it doesnt work.

Hi @sunhouse.

sunhouse:

2024-04-08T12:12:44.208Z root ERROR Failed to update platform, library indexes. Error: 13 INTERNAL: Error downloading index 'https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/library_index.tar.bz2': Get "https://downloads.arduino.cc/libraries/library_index.tar.bz2": proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp: lookup _: no such host

You must have changed the proxy settings in the Arduino IDE preferences since the last time the IDE was in a functional state. There is a bug in Arduino IDE (which should be fixed in the next release) that causes it to get an invalid configuration if you set the preferences to cause Arduino IDE to access the Internet through a proxy and then later change the preferences back to "No proxy".

I'll provide instructions you can follow to fix the configuration:

Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
Delete the file at the following path:
```
C:\Users\valen\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
```
Please be careful when deleting things from your computer. When in doubt, back up!
Start Arduino IDE.

Arduino IDE should now start up fully and be functional as usual.

Note that the file you deleted is also used to store other IDE preferences. These will all have been reset to the default values. If you had customized either the "Sketchbook location"
or "Additional Boards Manager URLs" preferences, you'll need to select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus and then set those preferences once again.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

It worked ,Thank you very much!
