How to get Arduino IDE to run in Bookworm 10.0.10?

[keniv]

I installed Arduino IDE using synaptic. All appeared to go well. An entry was made in Menu>Utility>Arduino IDE. When this is pressed Arduino IDE initially opens then appears to hang. The exec line in /usr/share/applications/arduino,desktop is /usr/bin/arduino %f. I tried running this in a terminal. the output is shown below.

Code: Select all

# /usr/bin/arduino %f
/usr/bin/arduino: line 29: dpkg-architecture: command not found
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: 

A small box also opened with the message Failed to open sketch "%f".
I tried to run the command again but without the %f. Again the output from the terminal is shown bellow.

Code: Select all

# /usr/bin/arduino
/usr/bin/arduino: line 29: dpkg-architecture: command not found
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:

I am not sure what the above means. I'd be obliged if anybody could suggest how I could get Arduino IDE to work in Bookworm.

Is there a JAVA environment installed? Something like openjdk21-jre or an older openjdk17-jre?

I did notice amongst the packages that were installed when installing Arduino IDE there were java packages. I've search for the two files you mention using pFind and get no files found. However if I just search on "java" in " system files" I get a total of 463 of which 162 are said to be "pictures", 16 are said to be "compressed" and 18 are "code files". The only other things installed are the ,pets shown in the attached image and Palemoon browser as a portable. Hope this is of help.

Try the appimage from arduino instead of the version from synaptic.

I've no experience of using an appimage. Am I correct in thinking that I would have to remove what I installed via synaptic before attempting to use the app image?

I've removed the version of Arduino IDE I installed using synaptic. I've installed version 1.8.18 from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases based on the information given in the last post in this thread viewtopic.php?t=13657 by forum member @Anacleto. This version at least opens in Bookworm 10.0.10 though I do not have the time just now to go any further. I figure that this will probably work for my purpose which is to upload code to an ESP32 Cam board with an OV2640. I did this last some time ago using a Win version of Arduino on XP but I no longer have this machine. I'll report back if it works.
