Install Arduino on Raspberry Pi

Arduino

Arduino IDE 1.8.X. Now called Arduino IDE Legacy, based on the Java and Python Frameworks.
Arduino IDE 2.X has not been released for ARMhf/ARM64 Linux, based on the Electron and Javascript/Typescript Frameworks.

Use this to flash your code to Arduino microprocessors.
To run: Menu -> Programming -> Arduino IDE.
To run in a terminal: arduino

Fortunately, Arduino is very easy to install on your Raspberry Pi in just two steps.

  1. Install Pi-Apps - the best app installer for Raspberry Pi.
  2. Use Pi-Apps to install Arduino.

Compatibility

For the best chance of this working, we recommend using the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, which is currently version Bookworm.
Raspberry Pi OS has 32-bit and 64-bit variants, both of which will run on most Raspberry Pi computers, including the Pi 3, Pi 4, and Pi5.
Arduino will run on either PiOS 32-bit or 64-bit.
