Any distro: Flatpak from Flathub
Flathub lists it as “Arduino IDE v2” (cc.arduino.IDE2), described as “Open-source electronics prototyping platform”. The listing is not verified, so Arduino has not confirmed it as its own package; Flathub shows “Arduino SA” as the developer name. It has been installed 485,255 times, number 61 of the 94 apps in our catalog that have a Flathub install count. Flathub flags its license as free software.
Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and Zorin OS have Flathub enabled out of the box, Fedora offers it as an optional third-party repository, and on Ubuntu you install Flatpak first.
Which install method should you use for Arduino IDE?
Use Flatpak: Flathub is the only install method in our data besides the vendor’s download.
- Arduino’s own download. Arduino publishes the Linux version itself on its website.
- Flatpak from Flathub. It is not a verified listing, so check that you trust its maintainer. No distro repository we track carries this app, so it is the route that works on any distro.
