Getting there with ESP development on a Chromebook…
- Make sure you have VS Code already installed.
- In a terminal,
sudo apt install python-is-python3 python3-venv - Open up VS Code, hit Shift + Ctrl + X and install PlatformIO IDE.
For a while, the PlatformIO installer was complaining about Python3.6+ interpreter not working. it seems it was actually specifically looking for venv. Once I installed that, it worked fine.
