Install Arduino IDE 1.8.13 on Ubuntu 20.04

To run Arduino IDE, you have to install Java on Ubuntu, refer last post Install JDK (OpenJDK) on Ubuntu 20.04.


Visit https://www.arduino.cc/ to download Linux 64 bits version.

Extract the downloaded file and more to where you want. Switch to the folder and run:
$ sudo ./install.sh

You will be reported with error of:

An error occurred while uploading the sketch
avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "/dev/ttyACM0": Permission denied

You can add you (the user) to the group own permission of the upload port:

$sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>
$sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyACM0

change username and ttyACM0 according to your setup.

logout and login.



Basically, the steps to install Arduino IDE on Ubuntu 20.04 are same as install on previous version of Ubuntu. But if you target to develop for ESP32/ESP8266, very likely you will be with error of:
exec: "python": executable file not found in $PATH
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'serial'
