PlatformIO CLI and IDE Bundle for offline installation

Here are a few steps to make off-line installation:

  1. Copy ~/.platformio folder to pio_cli_backup_dir. Edit pio_cli_backup_dir/appstate.json file and replace key "cid" with "cid_old",
  2. Archive pio_cli_backup_dir. You can clone it on the many Macs in the same location: ~/.platformio.
  3. Download clean version of Atom text editor from http://atom.io.
  4. Install it on the new Macs. Close.
  5. Copy ~/.atom/packages to pio_ide_backup_dir. Remove pio_ide_backup_dir/platformio-ide/penv.
  6. Archive pio_ide_backup_dir. You can clone it on the many Macs in the same location: ~/.atom/packages.
  7. Open Atom/PlatformIO IDE. It should only download the latest PlatformIO CLI’s Python package ~1Mb.

P.S: Is it for school?
