Hi there.
I am trying to use the Arduino web editor in Chromium on my Raspberry Pi and I am stuck on the plugin that is needed to upload project files. I download and extract the Linux plugin and when I execute the file it creates two empty files and I am no further ahead. Has anyone used the web editor in Chromium on the Raspberry Pi? Is it best to just download the Arduino software locally? Any advice would be appreciated.
Moving you to correct section.
I would suggest a local install myself.

you could compile the agent for Raspberry Pi following the instructions here:
For other doubts you can check this page: FAQ
Thanks
Hello,
I am stuck at the same point (using Chromium and RPi). After downloading and unzipping the plug-in, there is a .run file that I cannot see how to run.
I would be wary of installing anything on the RPI. If you use apt-get install, you get an old version of the IDE that does not support the Nano 33 IoT (a problem if that is what you have).
My last attempt to download and install the current version of the IDE corrupted the RPi OS and other installed software. I have just spent most of a day getting back to the start.
Bit stuck. Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Paul.
Hello again,
I managed to install the Chrome plug-in on a Windows 7 machine. All looks okay but the Web editor reports that there is no link to the Nano 33 IoT that is connected.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Paul.
The no connection issue mostly tends to be an antivirus program or other security related issue.
The plugin icon needs to be showing as green/teal in the taskbar.
If not then it has not made the needed connection.
Other causes tend to be a restricted network / Wi-Fi connection such as Corporate or EDU or free WiFi connections for which you would need to seek other permissions locally.

As @smellai said, it is possible to build the Create Agent from source code on a Raspberry Pi. I posted my notes from trying this.
