How To Install arduino-core-avr on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install arduino-core-avr on Kali Linux.
What is arduino-core-avr
arduino-core-avr is:
This package contains the source code and configuration files of the Arduino Core for Atmel’s AVR microcontroller used on the Arduino Y?n, Uno, Uno WiFi, Diecimila, Nano, Mega, MegaADK, Leonardo, Leonardo Ethernet, Micro, Esplora, Min, Ethernet, Fio, BT, LilyPadUSB, Lilypad, Pro, ATMegaNG, Robot Control, Robot Motor, Gemma, Y?n Mini and Industrial 101.
It also contains some basic interfaces for interacting with the internal non-volatile storage (aka EEPROM) in AVR based Arduino boards. Also interfaces for interacting with plugable USB infrastructure (HID), for the Serial Programming Interface (SPI), for serial communication on any digital pins and for communicaton by I2C and Two Wire Interfaces devices.
Please note that the firmware for the Arduino WiFi Shield is not included (in contrary to the official upstream archive) due it’s non DFSG compliance! Also some *.hex files are excluded as they are not rebuildable.
There are three methods to install arduino-core-avr on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install arduino-core-avr Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install arduino-core-avr using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install arduino-core-avrInstall arduino-core-avr Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install arduino-core-avr using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install arduino-core-avrInstall arduino-core-avr Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude updateAfter updating apt database, We can install arduino-core-avr using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install arduino-core-avrHow To Uninstall arduino-core-avr on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the arduino-core-avr package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove arduino-core-avrUninstall arduino-core-avr And Its Dependencies
To uninstall arduino-core-avr and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove arduino-core-avrRemove arduino-core-avr Configurations and Data
To remove arduino-core-avr configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge arduino-core-avrRemove arduino-core-avr configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove arduino-core-avr configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge arduino-core-avrDependencies
arduino-core-avr have the following dependencies:
