Installing the Arduino IDE
In this secion, we will install the Arduino IDE on the Raspberry Pi.
Prepare for lift off
An Arduino microcontroller development plaform (any variant that could be programmed
using the Arduino IDE is ine) is absolutely essenial for this secion of the project.

1. The IDE could be installed by execuing the following command in the command
line terminal:
sudo apt-get install arduino
2.
Most Arduino products come with a USB port and are programmed via the USB port
(the Arduino enumerates as a serial port device) . It takes a while to download and
install the Arduino IDE. Once the installaion is inished, we can test the installaion
