Description

My friend have really slow and metered internet, the installation take forever and never complete... I searched around, there are also people want make it portable have the same issue. Even copy whole .vscode and .platformio folders won't work.

Cant understand why it is so hard to make it portable and there seems no progress at all on this issue.

I'm trying to get more people play with Arduino without using that shitty IDE, but the online slow download install only really killed everyone's patient...
