The Arduino IDE does not launch on Raspian or other Linux ARM

If the IDE is not launching after installation on Raspian or another Linux ARM, please ensure that you’ve installed the ARM release. You can find the ARM release on the download page. Also note that a 32-bit operating system is currently recommended for the Raspberry Pi.

The error cannot touch '/root/.config/mimeapps.list': No such file or directory is not related to the above, and should not prevent the IDE from launching.
