Artemis Nano on Ubuntu 19.04: "../bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory"

Programming with the Arduino IDE works fine on Windows, but I get the above error message (with a much longer filepath) on Linux. I guess it can’t find the compiler. The full error is:

fork/exec /home/user/.arduino15/packages/SparkFun/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/8-2018-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++: no such file or directory
Error compiling for board SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano.

I looked at the directory structure and I have everything down to 8-2018-q4-major, but where I should have a bin folder inside that, I just have the directories arm-none-eabi and lib. Any ideas? Thanks.

Update: I reinstalled the SparkFun boards from the board manager and I can compile, but I’m now getting this on the SVL bootloader:

 Artemis SVL Bootloader

and this from the Ambiq secure bootloader:

 [11380] Failed to execute script ambiq_bin2board
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ambiq_bin2board.py", line 24, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'am_defines'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'am_defines'

This doesn’t happen on Windows either, just Linux.

Use the SVL bootloader but try slower upload speeds such as 115200 then work up to find the highest working speed. I found 460800 reliable on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system.
