Issue on your documentation page for installing shell commands:
There you say:
You need to edit the system environment variable called Path and append C:\Users\UserName\.platformio\penv\Scripts\ path in the beginning of a list...
The content of that location is:
.\penv\Scripts\

There are 3 serious issues with this PATH:
-
You are adding to Windows SYSTEM PATH and not USER PATH, which may break all sort of already installed tools and programs, including Python interpreter.
-
You are telling user to put the PATH addition on the top of the path list, (again) overriding all other PATHs.
-
There are only 3 programs needed, so why are you asking user to add entire directory?
That include an outdated Python interpreter, and several unknown executables!?
NOTE:
platformio.exe and pio.exe are the same file.
