Cannot install arduino-1.8.2

[ghost]

I'm trying to install arduino-1.8.2-linux64 under a Gentoo Linux system but when running the install.sh script I get the following error messages:

There's no Arduino IDE among my applications after the previous installation process.

Please notice I can install the previous Arduino version (1.8.1) without any problems.

1.8.1 and earlier with install.sh script worked fine.

I had the same problem while installing Arduini IDE 1.8.2 on a Ubuntu machine. The resource name in the install.sh file is wrong. When I looked in the Arduino-1.8.2/lib there is a file named arduino-arduinoide.xml file. So I changed the "RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide" to "RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide" and then run ./install.sh and that worked fine for me.

[jerryneedell]

I had the same issue with the linuxarm distribution on a Raspberry Pi.
The same fix worked for me as well.

[Mr-Newlove]

hmattiasl's solution fixed it for me too.

installing arduino IDE 1.8.2 on ubuntu 14.04. hmattiasl's solution worked on my machine.

Just adding that it's the same problem and fix in the 32 bit version...

thanks hmattiasl.

[jerryneedell]

It looks like you just removed the cc.
but did not change arduino.arduinoide to arduino-arduinoide
From the posted fix:

So I changed the "RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide" to "RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide"

I hope that helps!

[gilfagote]

Thanks, jerryneedell!
I'm newbie in Arduino and programming...

Again, Thanks!!

[anial-pro]

Thanks, jerryneedell!
This work.
XUbuntu 16.04

[KahYee940]

thanks for the solution @hmattiasl

[achimboers]

For those of you just a dyslectic as me....
Note the dash instead of the dot between arduino and arduinoide.
Not only remove just the cc.
Also replace the . for a -
Than it works on the Raspberry Pi

[cmaglie]

Fixed by #6110 the patch will be availble on the next release 1.8.3

[Adil-MohammedK]

hmattiasl's solution fixed it for me too. Using Ubuntu 16.04

[elalexluna83]

Thanks hmattiasl.. Your workaround worked like a charm for me.

[Jimvanhazendonk]

@hmattiasl for president, thank you for the solution... it worked perfectly

[jediofgever]

Editing install.sh file i get över this issue. But now the arduino İde icon raises error when i try to open İDE. The error says: invalid desktop entry file arduino-arduino

What can be the cause of this problem?
İ am running on Raspbian Os on pi 3

[jerryneedell]

@jediofgever Check the settings for the Icon.
Do a right click on the icon and select "properties" then look in the Desktop Entry Tab and verify thath the Command points to wherever you unpacked the 1.8.2 distribution.

[jediofgever]

@jerryneedell my extracted arduino-1.8.2 file is under /opt directory of linux file system. Although I pointed Command tab to that directory the problem still remains

[gsldynamics]

@hmattiasl you saved me a big headache! Worked great!

[per1234]

@facchinm it seems like the IDE has not been under active development lately. Why not do a release so people can stop running into this bug? I don't see the point in waiting 2 months after a serious bug is identified and fixed.

[stmic999]

arduino-1.8.2 installation failed on my ubuntu16.04.2 desktop version. It looks pretty much like the configuration of the 1-8.2 is not correctly set before released. Please check it. Thanks.

[facchinm]

Hi @per1234 ,
I'm sorry for the long hiatus and I'm sad that from the outside it appears that we are not interested in publishing a point release to fix this bug. The reason is, we are crazily busy these days, and the features we wanted to integrate in the upcoming IDE are huge but need some more work to be taken, so spending a couple of days to validate a new version is not feasible at the moment. Could it make sense to release a Linux-only, untested, 1.8.2r1 only containing bd49219 over 1.8.2 tag?

[cmaglie]

Using tags like 1.8.2.r1 have made a lot of confusion in the past, at this point let's make a "service" release 1.8.3.

[per1234]

Yeah, stick with semver. That would only allow for a 1.8.3-rc1 type of versioning as 1.8.2-r1 would be considered a pre-release to 1.8.2, which is definitely wrong. I don't see any problem with just bumping the patch version, even for a release with only minimal changes.

[terxw]

Works for me too!

[facchinm]

@rohit403 the problem you are encountering is due to a missing dependency on the ARM build. Simply install aur/libtinfo5 and the error should be gone

[rohit403]

Thank you sir... it works

[dwisatriow]

@hmattiasl Thank you. In my case i can't find resource name in arduino-arduinoide.xml, but then i try to change line in appdata.xml from <id>cc.arduino.arduinoide.desktop</id> to <id>arduino-arduinoide.desktop</id> then run ./install.sh and the error seems gone. Is it ok if i'm doing that?

[lorenzolightsgdwarf]

It's in appdata.xml

[brenly]

I found the line in appdata.xml where it was "wrong". <id>cc.arduino.arduinoide.desktop</id> to <id>arduino-arduinoide.desktop</id> my install.sh was already correct.

the install seems to have worked!

arduino 1.8.7 on lubuntu (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu3.2)

[ravi312]

thanks brenly. The resource name is correct in the arduino.1.8.10 "install.sh" file but the error is in the appdata.xml file which resides in lib folder. Changing cc.arduino.arduinoide.desktop to arduino-arduinoide.desktop, works for me too!

Hey. I want to install Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi 3 b +. I tried all of your solutions (i tried to install Arduino IDE 1.8.13), but nothing hapend. When I install, i get this error:

and if I lunch the IDE, i get this error:

thank you

[hugo1887]

Hooray, it works! I did it with the script from scruss Now I only have Arduino 1.8.5, but better than nothing

is this still relevant?

no! I do‘nt try this anymore.. You could close this🙂
