Arduino Create Agent Bridge Arch Linux
Resources
https://create.arduino.cc/editor
Download the bleading edge Agent: http://downloads.arduino.cc/CreateBridge/staging/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.0-linux-x64-installer.run
Note: 1.1 (1.0.46) is the official release 1.0 (1.0.188) is the dev release above.
Which is actually newer than this one here: https://create.arduino.cc/getting-started/plugin?page=2.

Arch Linux Install
Troubleshooting
FireFox
FireFox Version 49.0.2
Go here: https://create.arduino.cc/getting-started/plugin?page=2
Follow the directions on screen and make sure to add the cert to FireFox’s own keychain, other wise you will get the HTTPS error in the console and it won’t connect.
Chromium
Chromium Version 54.0.2840.90 (64-bit)
I followed the on screen steps for Chromium and it didn’t work, Chromium uses the local machines certs folder, so you have to manually copy it there, because the script is currently broken for Arch Linux. Steps below on how to proceed.
Something went wrong
We are not able to establish a secure (HTTPS) connection between the Plugin and the Arduino Web Editor. You can try to restart your browser once more, or Download the Installer and run it again.
Please Write us on the forum so we can help debugging this issue.
Now if I hit up the https://create.arduino.cc/getting-started/plugin/welcome?page=2 then hit skip for the plugin download as I already have it installed:

Note *You can pretty much ignore the bonjour error, this happens if you have avahi running in the background. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/avahi *
Which the webGUI then says:
Plugin correctly installed!
You should now see the Arduino Plugin Icon in your top or bottom bar of the Linux distribution you are using. Click on the Tray Icon for a link to the Arduino Web Editor, and if you want to Pause the plugin.
If you close it you can relaunching by clicking the Arduino Plugin icon on your desktop.
When you click next:
Restart Chrome
We know this is annoying, but to update the Certificates settings you need to restart Chrome.
If you don't restart the browser, the Arduino Web Editor won't be able to communicate with the plugin. The browser will reopen just this tab.
Any issue or question? Write us on the Forum.
Click Restart:

The Fix
I believe the issue is with createAgentLocal.crt this file doesn’t exist the name should be ca.cert.cer.
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/issues/129
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/raspberry-pi-how-do-i-install-the-plugin-for-linux/395959/5#msg2854866
* copy ca.cert.cer to your local certificate pool and refresh the index (maybe use this script to understand where it needs to be copied).
Generate Cert
ArduinoCreateAgent-1.0]$ sudo ./Arduino_Create_Bridge --generateCert
INFO[0000] written ca.key.pem
INFO[0000] written ca.cert.pem
INFO[0000] written ca.cert.cer
INFO[0000] written key.pem
INFO[0000] written cert.pem
INFO[0000] written cert.cer
File Listing
ArduinoCreateAgent-1.0]$ ls
Arduino_Create_Bridge
ca.cert.cer
ca.cert.pem
ca.key.pem
cert.cer
certmgr.sh
cert.pem
config.ini
InstallerIcon.png
key.pem
uninstall
'Uninstall arduino-create-agent.desktop'
uninstall.dat
Copy Cert & Update Trust
sudo cp ~/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.0/ca.cert.cer /usr/share/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/
sudo update-ca-trust
Then restart Arduino_Create_Bridge
ArduinoCreateAgent-1.0]$ sudo ./Arduino_Create_Bridge
Then restarted Chromium and all of a sudden you should see “Arduino
