I just tested this on aarch64/arm64 (Apple M2, Asahi Arch Linux ARM), and it works perfectly with some modifications to the PKGBUILD.
The modifications are as follows, I suggest you add them so that future users don't have to go through the trouble I did to get Arduino IDE working on Arch Linux ARM.

error arduino-ide@2.3.7: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=18.17.0 <21". Got "22.14.0"

We can force node 20 by using the following patch:

electron30 is necessary:

in /usr/bin/arduino-ide, Line 7:

exec /usr/lib/electron30/electron /usr/lib/arduino-ide $FLAGS "$@"

gatonero commented on 2025-09-05 12:15 (UTC)

For electron30: Install electron30-bin separately

But after that another error: error Found incompatible module. info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command. ==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in prepare().

The build process seems to package electron anyway:

• downloading url=https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v30.1.2/electron-v30.1.2-linux-x64.zip size=104 MB parts=8

Is there really the need to include electron30 in the PKGBUILD as a dependency then?

andreas_baumann commented on 2025-08-23 12:44 (UTC)

This is nothing I can maintain, I have no knowhow about node and friends..

andreas_baumann commented on 2025-08-22 15:22 (UTC) (edited on 2025-08-23 05:56 (UTC) by andreas_baumann)

electron30-bin should provide electron30, so you can choose whether to use the binary version or build your own electron. There is also a arduino-ide-bin.

Using automatic builders which draw in electron30 automatically are dangerous anyways given the nature of AUR PKGBUILDs.

This node error you reported didn't happen when I built it, I had a running IDE. Have to investigate..

Recieving error: error arduino-ide@2.3.6: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=18.17.0 <21". Got "22.14.0"

matdave commented on 2025-08-22 15:14 (UTC)

Would it be possible to "prefer" electron30-bin? I didn't have that installed, so it defaulted to trying to compile electron30, which required like 50GB of downloading and pegged my CPU.
