After a few of us discovered how needlessly complicated many of the setup guides were for Debian/Ubuntu systems, we decided to do a quick tutorial on the steps to get started with Arduino as a public service.

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.
