Installing Arduino IDE

1. Download the latest version of the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software to ~/Downloads.

   For an installation on an Intel desktop or laptop machine select the version from the “Download Options” at the top of the page; preferred is the *.zip file.

   For the installation on a Raspberry Pi, scroll down to the Legacy IDE version, and there select either “Linux ARM 32 bits” or “Linux ARM 64 bits”, depending on the OS version you installed on the Raspi.

2. If not yet done, create a folder ~/Programs or ~/Programme, depending on the languages settings of your operating system.
3. Extract the downloaded file to Programs folder: unzip ~/Downloads/arduino* -d ~/Programs.
