Install a library, and any libraries that it depends on using:
Library id or name from PlatformIO Library Registry
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
See base options for Library Manager.

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.
The supported schemes are: git, git+https and git+ssh. Here are
the supported forms:
user/library (short version for GitHub repository)
git+git://git.server.org/my-library
git+https://git.server.org/my-library
git+ssh://git.server.org/my-library
git+ssh://user@git.server.org/my-library
[user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git
Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so:
git+git://git.server.org/my-library#master
git+https://git.server.org/my-library#v1.0
git+ssh://git.server.org/my-library#7846d8ad52f983f2f2887bdc0f073fe9755a806d
The supported schemes are: hg+http, hg+https and hg+ssh. Here are
the supported forms:
https://developer.mbed.org/users/user/code/library/ (install ARM mbed library)
hg+hg://hg.server.org/my-library
hg+https://hg.server.org/my-library
hg+ssh://hg.server.org/my-library
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
