# Installing via Arduino Boards Manager

because it has issues detecting attached Pico boards. Use the "Windows ZIP" or plain "Windows"

executable (EXE) download direct from https://arduino.cc . and allow it to install any device
70
71
drivers it suggests. Otherwise the Pico board may not be detected. Also, if trying out the
71
72
2.0 beta Arduino please install the release 1.8 version beforehand to ensure needed device drivers
72
73
are present. (See #20 for more details.)

+ ## Linux-specific Notes
76
+ Installing Arduino using flatpak (often used by "App Stores" in various Linux
77
+ distributions) will mean it has restricted access to the host. This might cause uploads to fail
78
+ with error messages such as the following:
79
+
80
+ ```
81
+ Scanning for RP2040 devices
82
+ ...
83
+ No drive to deploy.
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ If you encounter this, you will need to either install Arduino in a different manner, or override
87
+ the flatpak sandboxing feature using the following command, then restarting Arduino.
88
+
89
+ ```
90
+ flatpak override --user --filesystem=host:ro cc.arduino.IDE2
91
+ ```
92

93
+ ## Installation
