Selecting a Teensy development environment for Linux

[wolfv]

What are some of the development tool options for Teensy 2.0 on Linux?
I just migrated from Windows 7 to Linux (Fedora 22). I was using Arduino IDE on Windows 7. I can also use the Make utility and edit in Vim.

Is this statement still relevant?: (from http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html#linux_issues)

Some newer Fedora (avr-gcc 4.6.x) also have trouble. Faulty AVR toolchains are a persistent problem on Linux.

If Arduinio IDE is the way to go, I can follow the advice on https://forum.pjrc.com/threads/29094-can-t-even-get-started

Thank you.

I don't install the Arduino tools from the system installer (yun, dnf, apt-get, etc.). Instead, I just download the entire Arduino release, install it somewhere, and then overlay the Teensy environment on top of it. This includes the appropriate toolchain for both the AVR and ARM based builds. This way you avoid problems if the system version of the tools is out of date. Note, I have not used a Teensy 2.0/2.0++, I just use Teensy 3.0/3.1/LC, but I do use some other Atmel32u4 processors with the standard Arduino libraries.

Thanks Michael. I installed Arduino 1.6.5 with Teensyduino 1.24
