Installation
You are free to use any IDE you like, but we recommend VS Code with PIO.
We will install the following:
- VS Code
- PIO extension
- krate CLI
- Mobile app (iOS/Android)
IDE
Visual Studio Code
Download Visual Studio Code.
PlatformIO
Click on Extensions
on the left panel on VS Code, search for PlatformIO, and install the latest version of PlatformIO.
If you’re using the VS Code/PIO IDE, this is all you need to do to start development with PIO.
Note
If you don’t wish to develop apps within VS Code, you will need to separately install the PlatformIO Core CLI for compiling your project. Follow instructions here to install the PIO CLI.
Krate CLI
Kublet Developer comes with a command line tool to get started quickly and to upload your code. There are several ways you can install our krate
CLI depending on your operating system.
MacOS
Run krate
in your terminal to make sure it was installed successfully.
To upgrade to the latest version, run
Windows/Linux
Download the krate
binary from the latest release.
Alternatively, you can build from source.
Mobile App
Finally, download our mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.
