Exact steps i followed to solve this .

1. Ensure your python version is above 3.6 (run  $ python 3 --version)


3. Install or upgrade platformio using this method
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio-core-installer/master/get-platformio.py -O get-platformio.py
python3 get-platformio.py
   ( i did shell commands method 1 )
5. remember to source the profile file
6. Run " Platformio system info " , if you get a result without any error, then you are good to go .

hope it helps.

Important : if you are running install file of lino robot , remember to comment the lines related to platformio , else you may end up installing the older version again . These are the two lines to comment.

sudo python2.7 -m pip install -U platformio sudo rm -rf $HOME/.platformio/
