VSCode & PlatformIO

Proven on:

4, 5

WIP!!! As always...

Start with:

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt upgrade

Getting Started with PlatformIO

PlatformIO is an add-on for VSCode.

You can install VSCode directly from the Software Manager... If you don't have an aversion to flatpack. Or...

Download VSCode

• wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=760868
• mv index.html\?LinkID\=760868 vsc.deb

Install VSCode

• sudo apt install ./vsc.deb

Install PlatformIO

Gonna fail hard if you don't first improve the python install...

• sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

Their instruction page...

1. Open VSCode Package Manager
2. Search for the official platformio ide extension
3. Install PlatformIO IDE.

Using GitHub

Make sure you actually have git installed... :P

• sudo apt install git

You'll need to set your user name & email for git...

Open a terminal and do:

• git config --global user.name YOURUSERNAME
• git config --global user.email YOUR@EMAIL.ADDRRESS
