PlatformIO and SCons aren't installed properly

PlatformIO and ``SCons`` aren't installed properly
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Try these solutions:
PlatformIO depends on awesome and irreplaceable software construction tool
named `SCons <http://www.scons.org>`_. PlatformIO Code Builder uses it to build
single source code for the multiple embedded platforms.
1. Upgrade SCons via `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`_
When you install PlatformIO it tries to find ``scons`` program in your OS. If
SCons is installed in your system, then PlatformIO will use it. Otherwise,
PlatformIO tries to install it automatically using ``pip install scons``. So, if
you are here, then it means that PlatformIO could not install it for you.
Let fix it manually.
1. Need to cleanup all previous SCons installations using `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`_
.. code-block:: bash
[sudo] pip uninstall scons
2. Try to install it manually
.. code-block:: bash
[sudo] pip install scons
# or if you have "error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized"
[sudo] pip install --egg scons
2. Install PlatformIO using :ref:`installation_installer_script`.
3. If it didn't help you, try system OS package manager
* **Mac OS X** using `brew <http://brew.sh>`_ run ``brew install scons``
* **Linux** using ``apt`` run ``[sudo] apt-get install scons``
To identify that SCons is installed in your system run ``scons -v``.
