It was very helpful when I had to go through the same thing with other computers. This is from notes I took when installing an Arduino.

With the latest versions come newer features like the 'Additional Boards Manager URLs' on Preferences (to add ESP8266 board): PlatformIO IDE, an extension for Atom.io or Visual Studio Code.Installer don't create Launcher icon for me: Just drag it ( sktop) from Desktop: For ESP8266 see this installation instructions.Before installing you might move the folder with binaries to /opt/ or /usr/local/.

If you need any other Python 3 dependencies other than serial, you can install them inside the snap sandbox using the arduino.pip command. Install the latest version using snap package sudo snap install arduino Extract the package (from terminal tar -xvf arduino-1.8.2-linu圆4.tar.xz).Just follow official guide (or Canonical's tutorial): I recommend instead Fritzing and Atom.io. Some other software options (like Eagle or Sublime) are not free software. If you don't get the shortcut available you'll need to run install.sh found there. This will install it on ~/.local/share/umake/electronics/arduino. Warning: umake ide arduino is deprecated.

Install Arduino IDE with umake umake electronics arduino If not using Ubuntu 18.04+ or want the latest versions: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make Install Ubuntu Make sudo apt install ubuntu-make Ubuntu Make is a command line tool which allows you to download the latest version of popular developer tools on your installation

Install the latest version from Ubuntu Make (on GitHub) In all cases you may need to add your user to dialout group (if it doesn't work add it also to tty group): sudo adduser $USER dialout There are three main ways to install the latest Arduino IDE: with umake, from tar.gz and as a snap. Arduino IDE from Ubuntu's repos are usually outdated.
