Giving an error when running ./install.sh

Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit IDE version 1.8.9

I checked the script file 

RESOURCE_NAME=arduino-arduinoid

this is what it has for RESOURCE_NAME

Run the command with root privileges. There's also a "arduino-linux-setup.sh" script which you may want to run. This should install Arduino perfectly. Now if you are not able to use desktop shortcut for opening Arduino IDE, you can use this command

sudo chmod 777 arduino-arduinoide.desktop
sudo chown YOUR_USERNAME_HERE arduino-arduinoide.desktop

This will make you the owner of the file, give you read and write permissions, and you will be able to open it then.

You can also open Arduino ide by using this command in the arduino folder.

./arduino
