### Arduino CLI

The Arduino Pro IDE uses the `arduino-cli` binary found in the system's PATH or its own embedded one if the `arduino-cli` is not found.
So please be sure you have the latest version of the CLI as described in the [How to Install the Arduino CLI](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli#how-to-install) doc,
or remove your `arduino-cli` from the system PATH

## Technology
The Arduino Pro IDE is based on the following technologies:

* [Arduino CLI](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli)
running in daemon mode provides all the main Arduino features
* [Eclipse Theia](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia)

Running in daemon mode, it provides all the main Arduino features
* [Eclipse Theia](https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia):
The frontend of the application is based on this [Open Source IDE](https://theia-ide.org/)
* [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron)
The framework behind [Eclipse Theia](https://theia-ide.org/), allows to use web technologies on desktop environments
