How to Install Arduino IDE 1.8.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 & Higher

   Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.

[ide]
  •  Added workaround for menu visibility bug in MacOSX 10.13 beta. Thanks @puybaret
