pio-platform: Install a development platform.
$ pio platform install ${platform}
try on your machine

The command "pio platform install ${platform}" is used to install a specific platform in the PlatformIO development environment.

  • "pio" refers to the PlatformIO command-line interface.
  • "platform install" is the command to install a platform.
  • "${platform}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual name of the platform you want to install.

For example, if you want to install the Arduino platform, you would replace "${platform}" with "arduino". The command would then be:

pio platform install arduino

This command will download and install the specified platform, making it available for development and uploading code to the target devices supported by that platform.
