How to install Arduino IDE on Debian 10

Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is open source software used to interact with Arduino control boards. Using it, you can connect and communicate with the Arduino hardware.

The Arduino IDE contains an editor used to write, compile, and upload code in Arduino hardware. You can install and run Arduino IDE on all major operating systems such as Windows, Linux and macOS.

In this article, TipsMake.com will show you two methods to install Arduino IDE software on Debian 10.

Method 1: Install the latest version of the Arduino IDE

The Arduino IDE is available for download from the official website and can also be installed using the installation script provided during the setup process. Follow the steps below to do so:

Step 1: Download the Arduino IDE

To install the latest version of the Arduino software, just visit the official Arduino download page. Then download the settings that correspond to your system version.

Step 2: Extract the package

Now, navigate to the Downloads folder and extract the downloaded file as follows:

 $ cd Downloads/ 
 $ tar –xf arduino-1.8.10-linux64.tar.xz 

Then navigate to the extracted directory with the cd command:

 $ cd Arduino-1.8.10/ 

Finally, run the installation script with the following command:

 $ ./install.sh 

Method 2: Install Arduino IDE from the Debian package archive

The Arduino IDE is also available in the package repository of the Debian operating system 10. Therefore, in this method, the article will show you how to install it using the APT package manager.

Step 1: Update the package database

In this step, we will update the package database. Open Terminal in the Debian operating system by going to the Activities tab in the top left corner of the desktop.
