Teensyduino installer doesn't allow arbitrary directory selection

I used Ubuntu Make to install the latest version of the Arduino IDE. This tool installs the IDE into /home/<user>/.local/share/umake/electronics/arduino.
I can't seem to install TeensyDuino as the installer doesn't allow navigation to directories beginning with a dot (hidden dirs).

Can you make the installer so that we can just type in a directory instead of having to use the drop-down & menu navigation?

Thanks.
 
Okay, so I used a workaround: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arduino <arduino_dir_with_hidden_dir_in_path>
Then just navigate to the symbolic link.
 
The installer has an undocumented "headless" feature, which lets you just type the pathname on the command line. Run it like this:

Code:
./TeensyduinoInstall.linux64 --dir=arduino-1.8.13
