#28957 You need xvfb to run Arduino on a headless Linux box. Checkout the following script for ideas how to install and compile stuff:
https://github.com/adafruit/travis-ci-a ... install.sh

Edit: the formal documentation is here: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob ... npage.adoc


Arduino.cc has also released a command line tool written in Go which will replace parts of the IDE. I haven't yet tried it with the esp8266 core but chances are it should also work:

#29438 He guys,

i get the arduino-builder (version 1.0.0-beta8) working with the esp8266 Arduino files.
But at this point it is only for testing purpose.
Look at https://github.com/pgollor/esp8266-arduino-autobuilder for more details.

In a few days i will try to write a script which use the boards manager link for downloading dependencies.
