Description
Guys, I've downloaded Arduino from site, then put in my home folder. Then I run `./arduino` in terminal but this shown:
```
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.compress.utils.IOUtils.closeQuietly(Ljava/io/Closeable;)V
at processing.app.helpers.PreferencesMap.load(PreferencesMap.java:76)
at processing.app.PreferencesData.init(PreferencesData.java:53)
at processing.app.BaseNoGui.initParameters(BaseNoGui.java:993)
at processing.app.Base.guardedMain(Base.java:158)
at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:136)
```
I've looked in `processing/app/helpers` folder and I didnt found PreferencesMap. Is it true? And if it's not, what should I do to make it works in my machine?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the first-run failure with ./arduino on Ubuntu 14.04 and inspect the PreferencesMap.java:76 stack-trace entry and the bundled Apache Commons Compress dependency. Confirm the cause of the NoSuchMethodError, then verify that the IDE starts successfully without the exception.
