Unable to install PlatformIO: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

Solution

sudo pip --no-cache-dir install -U platformio

---

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble installing PlatformIO, my main goal is to use this to program (run, build, compile, etc.) arduino projects on Atom. As suggested here: https://viget.com/extend/arduino-development-in-atom-editor
I already tried all the options, throw pip, throw python curl, etc. But I always get this error:

Exception:

Hi,

[Errno 1] Operation not permitted

You should install using administrative privileges(sudo):

sudo pip install -U pip setuptools
sudo pip install -U platformio

[tiferrei]

Sorry, already tried, it says to run with "sudo -H pip install -U pip setuptools", so I did it that way, exact same error :/

Thank you for your time!

[ivankravets]

Have you tried installer script? http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#installer-script

[tiferrei]

I did, same error :/

[ivankravets]

Give me please an output of

pip list

Try

sudo pip --no-cache-dir install -U platformio

[tiferrei]

It Worked!!! Thanks!! You made my day!!!! What was the problem by the way?

[ivankravets]

Thanks a lot for the report! I've just added this solution to FAQ page http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/faq.html#faq

[ivankravets]

What was the problem by the way?

I can't answer to this question, I'm not maintainer for pip tool. I saw that pip has problem with caches, then the "in-mind" solution was to disable it 😄

[tiferrei]

Well anyway thank you very much!
