Command not found

Hello everyone,

I tried to install pio core I use pip install platformio it was installed without problem but when I tried to use pio or platformio command it said command not found.

Thank you for your answers.

How did you install PIO Core? What is your OS?

As I said before I just used pip install -U platformio and I’m in ubuntu 17.1 freshly installed. My friend try the same thing with the same ubuntu and freshly installed too but for him it works I also tried the other method of installation with the script.

Please provide an output from a system Terminal

echo $PATH
echo $PYTHONPATH
python --version
pip --version
pip list

I facing the same problem on Debian 9 Stretch. Output of these commands for me is:

chufyrev@cbpp:~$ echo $PATH
/home/chufyrev/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/chufyrev/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin
chufyrev@cbpp:~$ echo $PYTHONPATH

chufyrev@cbpp:~$ python --version

Exactly the same issue here, somehow the platformio binary is not installed, just the site packages in python.

This is an ubuntu based system.

ajo@chromito:~$ find / -name platformio 2>/dev/null
/home/ajo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/platformio
/home/ajo/.local/bin/platformio

interesting…

How did you install PlatformIO Core? Which method? Redirecting...

hey @ivankravets thanks. I used the installer script

I recommend to uninstall global PlatformIO Core from a system, see Redirecting....

Then, please Install PlatformIO Core into Virtual Environment and Install Shell Commands.

Having this installation, you can keep PlatformIO Core in isolated environment.
