Arduino setup

Install Arduino

Prerequisites

You need the GitHub CLI (gh).

These instructions, though hardly worth keeping, show how to download and install the Arduino IDE from its home on GitHub.

gh release download --repo arduino/arduino-ide --pattern 'arduino-ide_*64bit.AppImage'
f=$(ls *.AppImage)
chmod +x "$f"
dest="$HOME"/bin/arduino/"${f##*/}"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$dest")"
mv "$f" "$dest"
printf "Installed to '%s'.\n" "$dest"

gh release download --repo arduino/arduino-ide --pattern 'arduino-ide_*64bit.msi'
open arduino-ide_*64bit.msi

gh release download --repo arduino/arduino-ide --pattern 'arduino-ide_*arm64.dmg'
open arduino-ide_*arm64.dmg

gh release download --repo arduino/arduino-ide --pattern 'arduino-ide_*64bit.dmg'
open arduino-ide_*64bit.dmg
