Arduino IDE Steup

1.Download Arduino

• Download Linux 64bit
  • Link : https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

2.Install Arduino

• arduino-<VERSION>-linux [32 | 64] .tgz decompressed to an appropriate position /opt/arduino/arduino-<VERSION>

$ sudo mkdir /opt/arduino
$ sudo tar -xzf arduino-1.0.5-linux64.tgz -C /opt/arduino
$ cd /opt/arduino
$ sudo ln -s arduino-1.0.5 arduino #1
$ sudo chmod -R a+rX /opt/arduino  #2

1.Make a symbolic link for future updated version.

2.Let everyone has permission to perform Arduino IDE.

3.The Arduino IDE menu, point to manually download version.

1. Call out directly inside arduino Arduino IDE, so as long as the/usr/bin/arduino point/opt/arduino/arduino/arduino

$ which arduino
/usr/bin/arduino

$ sudo ln -sf /opt/arduino/arduino/arduino /usr/bin/arduino
$ ls -l `which arduino`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jan  1 09:17 /usr/bin/arduino -> /opt/arduino/arduino/arduino

4.Start Arduino in Terminal

• Type Arduino in terminal to start.
