Raspberry pi Arduino Libraries folder

Question

I've got a raspberry pi and arduino connected over serial port. Everything works, except the Arduino IDE does not have an 'import library' section for adding new libraries.

I can only import libraries that come with the IDE. I want to add more libraries to Arduino IDE on the pi and wanted to know where the libraries folder could be found.

So far I haven't found it anywhere.

Anyone got any experience with it?

Another heads up, running raspbian wheezy.

documents (or the linux equivalent)/arduino/libraries? Not sure if you've looked there already. Taken from the guide here: arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries — user2461391

Thats the issue, I have not been able to find a documents equivalent on raspbian yet. The 'add libraries' option doesn't exist — kkaul

you can add your libraries in

/usr/share/arduino/libraries/

then just include them with the include statement

#include <myAwesomeLib.h>

Hope it helps! :)

This is a protected folder and requires admin privileges to add files. I have to launch file explorer in sudo mode using sudo pcmanfm in terminal to be able to drag the library in.
