If you get an error like this

Link (dyld) error:
dyld: /Applications/arduino-0004/Arduino 04.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino Undefined symbols:
/Applications/arduino-0004/librxtxSerial.jnilib undefined reference to _printf$LDBL128 expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

you should ensure that you are running a recent version of macOS. Older versions have some incompatible system libraries.
