[Trisquel-users] installing arduino 1.6.7 from source code
Hey everybody. I hope you all are doing it great! I have a bit of a problem here... That is it that i installed arduino from the repositories but the version that was there is a bit of old. So I think to download a more newst version from the arduino site (arduino 1.6.7) wich i had done. The problem is I can't install from source. I was confident that I can do it easily. I untar the file; move to the arduino 1.6.7 folder, but there was no "configure file" nor "readme" file to somewhat guide me. This are the files that I have in the folder: ->arduino; ->arduino-builder; ->install.sh; ->uninstall.sh and... ->revisions.txt;

I tried: "sudo ./install.sh" and it only creates a (useless) Desktop icon. I tried: "sudo ./arduino-builder" and it gives me a bunch of error(?) in terminal. I tried: "sudo ./arduino" and it opens the program that in fact I can use, but still the problem remains: the program is not installed! If you could help me I would appreciate a lot. Many thanks for you all!

Please look at this guide for building the Arduino IDE from Git: http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-Arduino-From-GIT-Sources-on-Ubuntu-1604/ It is targeted at Ubuntu 16.04 but can no doubt be adapted to Trisquel 7, based on Ubuntu 14.04.

That process requires to install java from Oracle which I prefer not to do. Is there any option, or maybe I have to stick with the old version of arduino from the repositories?

I didn't see that. Just install OpenJDK instead.

Oh and by the way it's probably useful for us to see the errors. But definitely follow the guide albeit with OpenJDK instead. There are also PPAs and backports.
