Re: error installing arduino

In your case the most important thing you  need is the JRE (Java Runtime Environment ,  the part that actually runs the java code).
I believe there is a problem with the way it is installed, or the way Arduino is configured to look for Java libs.

I am by all means NOT an expert in the Java field but the first thing I would do now is to try to run other java apps.
Can you test and see if you can run  any other java applications? (e.g. Netbeans)
You can also try to  give the argument "--nosplash" and see if that helps.

Re: error installing arduino

It's a common problem with installing arduino: I think you need to install arduino-avr-core for starters

Re: error installing arduino

*How* are you launching the IDE - post your exact command line? It looks like your default JRE is 11. Try switching it to JRE8 (you may need to install jre8-openjdk first). Also make sure to read the Arduino Wiki, since it describes important steps with regards to optional dependencies that won't get installed by default.

I also had a similar (if not same) problem a while ago, and that didn't work. jre11 works fine; in fact it's what I use. I think I solved the problem by installing arduino-avr-core. Somehow, I think it has a component that the IDE needs. It was actually reported here
