Installing the Arduino Development Environment on LINUX 2
Quick install directions for people using a Debian based LINUX distro, like Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre gcc-avr avr-libc
Then get the package for your platform from http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software, 32 or 64 bit linux.
Unpack the archive:
cd
tar xvf Downloads/arduino*.tgz
Put a symbolic link to …/arduino???/arduino on your path:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s ~/arduino-0023/arduino
Open the IDE, arduino&
on the command line, and select the correct serial port possibly ttyACM0
.
Bam Done!
Install a launcher for /usr/local/bin/arduino
if desired.
