title: Arduino Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin
body: <p>I'm following an <a href="http://www.pluggy.me.uk/arduino-ubuntu/" rel="nofollow">installation guide for Arduino</a>. I have Arduino UNO rev3 and ubuntu 64bit</p>
  
  <p>The guide refers to Synaptic Package manager to install software. But it doesn't seem to be available in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin. </p>
  
  <p>Should I install the list of software components via Ubuntu software center? Or should I install the Synaptic Package manager? (e.g. <a href="http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3610" rel="nofollow">http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3610</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Is there any difference between the two installation applications? </p>
