Step 1 (Optional)

Before doing this step, make sure you already have installed Python’s distutils . To do this, run the command below:

sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

Step 2

Get and run the installer:

python3 -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/develop/scripts/get-platformio.py)"

Step 3

Create symbolic links to /usr/local/bin

sudo ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/platformio /usr/local/bin/platformio
sudo ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio /usr/local/bin/pio
sudo ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/piodebuggdb /usr/local/bin/piodebuggdb

Note: After this, you can now use PlatformIO plugin in Clion without hiccups
