Full Guide
 | 
						|
~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Check a ``python`` version (only 2.6-2.7 is supported):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ python --version
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Windows OS* Users only:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    * `Download Python 2.7 <https://www.python.org/downloads/>`_ and install it.
 | 
						|
    * Add to PATH system variable ``;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;`` and
 | 
						|
       reopen *Command Prompt* (``cmd.exe``) application. Please read this
 | 
						|
       article `How to set the path and environment variables in Windows
 | 
						|
       <http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm>`_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. Check a ``pip`` tool for installing and managing *Python* packages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ pip search platformio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You should see short information about ``platformio`` package.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If your computer does not recognize ``pip`` command, try to install it first
 | 
						|
using `these instructions <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html>`_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
3. Install a ``platformio`` and related packages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ pip install platformio && pip install --egg scons
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For upgrading the ``platformio`` to new version please use this command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ pip install -U platformio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Development Version
 | 
						|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. warning::
 | 
						|
    We don't recommend to use ``develop`` version in production.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. If you had have already installed PlatformIO, please uninstall it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ pip uninstall platformio
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. Install the latest PlatformIO from the ``develop`` branch:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    $ pip install https://github.com/platformio/platformio/archive/develop.zip
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to be up-to-date with the latest ``develop`` version of PlatformIO,
 | 
						|
then you need to perform step #2 each time if you see the new commits in
 | 
						|
`PlatformIO GitHub repository <https://github.com/platformio/platformio/commits/develop>`_.
