Cannot install arduino-1.8.2

I'm trying to install arduino-1.8.2-linux64 under a Gentoo Linux system but when running the install.sh script I get the following error messages:

There's no Arduino IDE among my applications after the previous installation process.

Please notice I can install the previous Arduino version (1.8.1) without any problems.

1.8.1 and earlier with install.sh script worked fine.

I had the same problem while installing Arduini IDE 1.8.2 on a Ubuntu machine. The resource name in the install.sh file is wrong. When I looked in the Arduino-1.8.2/lib there is a file named arduino-arduinoide.xml file. So I changed the "RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide" to "RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide" and then run ./install.sh and that worked fine for me.

I had the same issue with the linuxarm distribution on a Raspberry Pi.
The same fix worked for me as well.

[Mr-Newlove]

hmattiasl's solution fixed it for me too.

installing arduino IDE 1.8.2 on ubuntu 14.04. hmattiasl's solution worked on my machine.

[supertin]

Just adding that it's the same problem and fix in the 32 bit version...

thanks hmattiasl.

It looks like you just removed the cc.
but did not change arduino.arduinoide to arduino-arduinoide
From the posted fix:

So I changed the "RESOURCE_NAME=cc.arduino.arduinoide" to "RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoide"

I hope that helps!

Thanks, jerryneedell!
I'm newbie in Arduino and programming...

Again, Thanks!!
