Description

Install a library, and any libraries that it depends on using:

  1. Library id or name from PlatformIO Library Registry

  2. Custom folder, repository or archive.

The version supports Semantic Versioning ( <major>.<minor>.<patch>) and can take any of the following forms:

  • 0.1.2 - an exact version number. Use only this exact version

  • ^0.1.2 - any compatible version (exact version for 0.x.x versions

  • ~0.1.2 - any version with the same major and minor versions, and an equal or greater patch version

  • >0.1.2 - any version greater than 0.1.2. >=, <, and <= are also possible

  • >0.1.0,!=0.2.0,<0.3.0 - any version greater than 0.1.0, not equal to 0.2.0 and less than 0.3.0

PlatformIO supports installing from local directory or archive. Need to use file:// prefix before local path. Also, directory or archive should contain .library.json manifest (see library.json).

  • file:///local/path/to/the/platform/dir

  • file:///local/path/to/the/platform.zip

  • file:///local/path/to/the/platform.tar.gz

Version control

PlatformIO supports installing from Git, Mercurial and Subversion, and detects the type of VCS using url prefixes: “git+”, “hg+”, or “svn+”.

Note

PlatformIO requires a working VCS command on your path: git, hg or svn.

Git

The supported schemes are: git, git+https and git+ssh. Here are the supported forms:

  • user/library (short version for GitHub repository)

  • https://github.com/user/library.git

  • git+git://git.server.org/my-library

  • git+https://git.server.org/my-library

  • git+ssh://git.server.org/my-library

Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so:

Mercurial

The supported schemes are: hg+http, hg+https and hg+ssh. Here are the supported forms:

Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so:

  • hg+hg://hg.server.org/my-library#master

  • hg+https://hg.server.org/my-library#v1.0

  • hg+ssh://hg.server.org/my-library#4cfe2fa00668

Subversion

The supported schemes are: svn, svn+svn, svn+http, svn+https and svn+ssh. Here are the supported forms:

  • svn+svn://svn.server.org/my-library

  • svn+https://svn.server.org/my-library

  • svn+ssh://svn.server.org/my-library

You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like so:

  • svn+svn://svn.server.org/my-library#13
