Installing Atom with PlatformIO and creating your first project

Source: http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html#installation

This tutorial describes how to download and install PlatformIO as an Atom plugin.

1. Download and install official GitHub’s Atom text editor. PlatformIO will be installed as a plugin to it.
2. Open Atom Package Manager (Linux,OS → Menu: Edit > Preferences > Install, Windows → Menu: File > Settings > Install)
3. Search for official Platformio-ide package
4. 
5. Install PlatformIO IDE
6. Intall clang

• Linux: Using package managers: apt-get install clang or yum install clang.
• Mac OS X: Install the latest Xcode along with the latest Command Line Tools (they are installed automatically when you run clang in Terminal for the first time, or manually by running

   xcode-select --install 

• Windows: Download Clang 3.9.1 for Windows. Please select “Add LLVM to the system PATH” option on the installation step.
  • Clang 3.9.1 for Windows (32-bit).
  • Clang 3.9.1 for Windows (64-bit)

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL CLANG 4.0. PLATFORMIO TEMPORARY SUPPORTS ONLY CLANG 3.9.

If you see Failed to find MSBuild toolsets directory error in the installation console, please ignore it and press any key to close this window. PlatformIO IDE uses only Clang completion engine that should work after it without any problems.

• Open main.cpp file form src folder and replace its contents with some code
• Run Build (PlatformIO > Build) and you should see green “success” result in the building panel
