I tried using the installer script and using sudo pip install -U platformio
. Both of them don’t install the scripts pio
or platformio
to any location in my $PATH.
I was able to resolve that by using this command sudo pip install platformio -U --install-option="--install-scripts=/usr/local/bin"
, which forces pip
to install platformio
to /usr/local/bin
. After executing this command once I can’t reproduce the original behavior and even after a uninstall of platformio
the sudo pip install -U platformio
command works as expected.
Since this is a quite weird and irritating issue & solution I thought it’s the best to post it here, in case anybody else runs into it.
If anybody has an idea on how I could try to reproduce this issue I’d be willing to try it.
