This tool is able to parse Arduino Hardware specifications, properly run ‘gcc’ and produce compiled sketches.

An Arduino sketch differs from a standard C program in that it misses a ‘main’ (provided by the Arduino core), function prototypes are not mandatory, and libraries inclusion is automagic (you just have to #include them). This tool generates function prototypes and gathers library paths, providing ‘gcc’ with all the needed ‘-I’ params.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install arduino-builder

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.
