I'm working on 16.04 and trying to setup the Arduino IDE for use with a Genuino 101. I have the IDE installed, v 1.8.2, in my home folder. It compiles sketches and picks up the board serial number as well as other details correctly. According to the Arduino site, one needs to execute

sudo ~/.arduino15/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule

inside a shell to gain upload permissions.

When I execute this through the terminal I get the error message 

sudo: /home/16737547/.arduino15/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule: command not found

Is this command looking for v 1.6.4 of the IDE? I have tried to modify the command to 

sudo ~/.arduino15/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.8.2+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule

but it did not resolve the error message.

    that error is thrown by sudo when the file does not have execute permission. If the file exists, you may fix the problem by running chmod u+x ~/.arduino/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule and then repeat the command. You must check that the file exists though! For information, run ls -l ~/.arduino/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule – Zanna May 18 '17 at 08:19

To achieve this:

  1. Open a terminal with ctrl+alt+t

  2. Make the file executable with:

    chmod u+x ~/.arduino15/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule

  3. Type the command and press enter

    sudo ~/.arduino15/packages/Intel/tools/arduino101load/1.6.4+1.18/scripts/create_dfu_udev_rule
