====== Using the Arduino IDE on RHEL 8 Systems ======

To enable the Arduino IDE on EECS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems, some minor setup is necessary. If you have not done so, please run the ''arduino-install.sh'' command:

<file>
> arduino-install.sh
Adding desktop shortcut, menu item and file associations for Arduino IDE...


ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/local/bin/arduino': Permission denied
Adding symlink failed. Hope that's OK. If not then rerun as root with sudo.
 done!</file>

You can ignore the Permission denied error. You should now be able to see the Arduino icon in your Applications menu:\\ {{:knowledge-base:linux-topics:rhel8:arduino1.png|}}

Please do not run the IDE from a terminal. This will ensure that you have the correct permissions to program your USB-based Arduino device.
