Hi,
Im new to the whole platformIO/VisualStudio environment. I had issues initially installing platformio directly through visual studio, had to use home-brew. Now when I try opening platformio after installation, I get the error as shown in the image. Any leads on how to fix this?
“Error: Detected unknown package 'tool-pioplus”
(Mac User here)
Do you use a proxy? What is your macOS version?
No proxy, Mac OS Sierra version 10.12
Please scroll down in “QUICK ACCESS” view and open PIO terminal. Type pio home
. It should install all dependencies.
I tried it. It states that its installing tool-pioplus then the following error of unknown tool-pioplus pops up.
pio home
