You have no items in your shopping cart. The menus won't come up immediately and if I click the serial monitor button it make take 20 to 30 seconds to appear. I'm using Linux Mint and Arduino IDE 1.0.3. The Arduino IDE contains almost everything, but not the Java and not the java-rxtx. Open-source electronics prototyping platform.

Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint have the Arduino software available in their repositories (e.g. from the Software Center in Ubuntu or the Software Manager in Linux Mint), but this is not always the latest version of the software. This article explains how to install the newest version.
Installing the Arduino Software on Linux
If You Have Already Installed Arduino
If you have already installed Arduino from the repositories, then all the dependencies for Arduino have been met on the Linux system. This means that you can simply download the newest version of the software from the Arduino website and then extract the folder from the downloaded zipped file (e.g. extract it to your desktop). To run Arduino, open the folder and double-click the arduino file. Click Run in the dialog box that pops up to start the Arduino IDE (this button may be called Execute in other Linux distributions such as Lubuntu).
For a New Arduino Installation
If you have never installed the Arduino software on the system before, then you will need to make sure that the dependencies for running the software are met.
On an Ubuntu or Linux Mint system, the only dependencies necessary are to have the Java Runtime environment installed and the GCC AVR compiler tools installed. As of Arduino software version 1.0.1, the GCC AVR compiler tools are included with the downloaded Arduino software, so it is no longer necessary to install the GCC AVR compiler, only the Java Runtime Environment is needed.
The Java Runtime may already be installed on your system, but if it is not, then when you try to run the Arduino software, it will not even start. You will need to install Java, such as OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime. Just search for it and install it from the Software Center or Software Manager.
From a terminal window, it can be installed using the following command:
After Java has been installed, it is just a matter of downloading the Arduino software, extracting the folder from the download and then copying it to a suitable location such as your desktop. Open the folder and double-click the arduino file to start the Arduino IDE.
Note that you must be added to the 'dialout' group to be able to upload sketches to the Arduino. After adding yourself to the dialout group, you will need to log out of Linux and then back in or restart the computer.
Further Information on Installing Arduino Software on Linux

Arduino Software
POWER:
The Dragino HE is the core module of Yun Shield. The HE module requires around 200ma current when in full load, so it is powered by the Arduino VIN pins to avoid overheated in the Arduino onboard 5v LDO. So when Yun shield is in used, the Arduino board should be powered by DC port instead of USB port. The DC input can be 7v ~ 15v.
The USB Host of Yun Shield gets power from the Arduino +5v pin, since the +5v from Arduino comes from the +5V LDO, to avoid overheated on the Arduino Board, when the USB host is in used, it is recommended to use +7v DC.
INTERFACE:
The RJ45, WiFi, USB Host and Failsafe are connected to the Dragino HE module directly. And the
Dragino HE module use SPI and UART to communicate with Arduino Board. Yun Shield is compatible with 3.3v and 5v Arduino board. The on board jumper SV1 is used to set the SPI and UART to 3.3v or 5v level.
The SPI interface is used to upload the sketches comes from the Arduino IDE. SPI interface only connects to Dragino HE during uploading so the Arduino SPI can still be used to connect to other SPI slave devices.
The UART interface is used for the Bridge class in Arduino, there are lots of examples explain how to use the bridge class in the Arduino IDE. It is the core of Yun solution. We must make sure the serial Interface of Arduino is not used by other hardware.
