How to install the Arduino IDE on CentOS 8

Arduino IDE stands for 'Arduino Integrated Development Environment'. Arduino is used to make electronic devices that communicate with their environment using actuators and sensors.

The Arduino IDE contains an editor that is used to write and upload programs to the Arduino board. Before starting to create projects via Arduino, users need to set up the IDE for the programmable board.

1. Install the Arduino IDE on CentOS 8

You will need to do the following steps on Terminal to install the Arduino IDE on CentOS 8:

  1. Download the Arduino IDE setup file
  2. Extract the downloaded archive
  3. Install the Arduino script
  4. Launch the Arduino IDE

Details are as follows:

1. Open a command line window with the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T or click Activities displayed on the left corner of the screen to open Terminal on CentOS 8.0.

2. Login as the root user from the system. Run su command on Terminal .

2. Download the Arduino IDE

To install the Arduino IDE on your system, you will need the Arduino IDE setup file. Open the Arduino download page and select the latest Arduino 1.8.12 version of the Arduino IDE currently available. You will choose the Arduino IDE supported for your Linux system architecture, either 32-bit or 64-bit.

Another alternative is to download it with the wget command on Terminal. Enter the following command on Terminal to download the latest Arduino version 1.8.12:

wget https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.12-linux64.tar.xz

As you can see in the image above, after completing the download, a file named arduino-1.8.12-linux.tar.xz has been saved on the system. This downloaded file will be stored in the main directory of the system.

3. Extract the downloaded archive

Now, you will unzip the archive using the tar command. Execute the following command in Terminal to extract the file:

tar -xvf arduino-1.8.12-linux64.tar.xz

After executing the above command, you will see the file extraction process taking place in Terminal.
