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
