Try pip install -U pip and restart IDE and try again.

Also when I open the terminal (Plataformio ide terminal), I get this error too:

Something is wrong with your machine. Try

pip install --no-cache-dir -U pip

[smunozeyquem]

Please try again the same command. Do you run it with Admin privilege? Run from generic user.

I think I fix the problem, the path for python was wrong in my computer, so I change the path and everything install with no problem.

now the only error that I'm receiving is this one, at the moment that I open Atom:

so today, I'd installed windows 10 in my pc, then I follow the installation guide, and I got no problem with platformIO like before.
So now I'm testing the program with a nodemcu esp8266, and it works fine. The code that I been creating are updating to the micro controller very fast (Faster than the arduino IDE), Although every time that I update a code, in one line of the updating terminal appear an error, and I would like to know why is happing or if it's normal.
here is part of the code that appear in the upadating terminal:

[11/05/16 22:51:49] Processing nodemcuv2 (platform: espressif8266, board: nodemcuv2, framework: arduino)

"after 72%, it reached the 100% and the program end to upload"

So in resume the program work fines the codes that I tested until now works fine in te micro controller, even with this error that appear at the moment of updating the code.

thanks in for this amazing program and sorry for my english xD!

Could you try new PlatformIO IDE 2.0 Installer?

Menu: PlatformIO > Home > Try PlatformIO IDE 2.0 Preview.

Thanks!
