pio-lib: Install a library.
$ pio lib install ${library}
try on your machine

The command "pio lib install ${library}" is used in the platformio ecosystem to install a library (also known as a dependency) for a specific project.

Here's how the command is broken down:

  • "pio" refers to the platformio command-line tool, which is used to manage projects and dependencies.
  • "lib" indicates that we are performing a library-related operation.
  • "install" is the specific action we want to perform, which is installing a library.
  • "${library}" is a placeholder representing the name of the library we want to install. You need to replace "${library}" with the actual name of the library you want to install.

For example, to install the library "Adafruit_LIS3DH" using this command, you would use: "pio lib install Adafruit_LIS3DH".

The command will connect to the platformio library registry and download the specified library. It will then install it into your project, making it available for use in your code.
