Library Manager
===============
*PlatformIO Library Manager* is a tool for managing libraries of
`PlatformIO Registry <http://platformio.org/lib>`__ and VCS repositories (Git,
Hg, SVN). It makes it exceedingly simple to find, install and keep libraries
up-to-date. PlatformIO Library Manager supports
`Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org>`_ and its rules.
There are 2 options how to find library:
* `Web Library Search <http://platformio.org/lib>`__
* :ref:`Command Line Interface <cmd_lib_search>`
You can manage different library storages using
:option:`platformio lib --global` or :option:`platformio lib --storage-dir`
options. If you change current working directory in terminal to project folder,
then :ref:`platformio lib <cmd_lib>` command will manage automatically dependency
storage in :ref:`projectconf_pio_libdeps_dir`.
Project dependencies
--------------------
*PlatformIO Library Manager* allows to specify project dependencies
(:ref:`projectconf_lib_deps`) that will be installed automatically per project
before environment processing. You do not need to install libraries manually.
The only one simple step is to define dependencies in :ref:`projectconf`.
You can use library ID, Name or even repository URL. For example,
.. code-block:: ini
[env:myenv]
platform = ...
framework = ...
board = ...
lib_deps =
13
PubSubClient
Json@~5.6,!=5.4
https://github.com/gioblu/PJON.git@v2.0
https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP.git
https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library/archive/master.zip
Please follow to :ref:`cmd_lib_install` for detailed documentation about
possible values.
.. warning::
If some libraries are not visible in :ref:`ide_atom` and Code Completion or
Code Linting does not work properly, please perform ``Menu: PlatformIO >
Rebuild C/C++ Project Index (Autocomplete, Linter)``
