Senior Project

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As a person slightly familiar with Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) and not very much with Debian, I come begging for help. I am part of a senior project and am currently working with a Debian based SBC (Single Board Controller, specifically http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=ts-7800). It is Debian version 3.1 and I am trying to install the Arduino 1.0 on it. I did see the page for Debian however it mentioned using Debian 6.03, well I tried anyway and when running the command I get the following:
root@ts7800:root# apt-get install arduino
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package arduino
root@ts7800:root# sudo apt-get install arduino-core
-bash: sudo: command not found
root@ts7800:root# apt-get install arduino-core
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package arduino-core
root@ts7800:root#

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Might want to post this under Installation and Troubleshooting.

And put a more descriptive title than "Senior Project" as that tends to turn folks off because there are a number that have tried to get us to do their project for them.

Could you install under Windows? It does work pretty reliably there.
