<div dir="ltr">
  I started to Install the standard <a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">Arduino ide</a> but it doesn&#8217;t support teensy out of the box.

  I found a nice <a href="http://snackeyes.blogspot.co.il/2014/04/installing-arduino-teensyduino-on.html">guide</a>  to add the teensy as an addon to the arduino studio but it took me to much time to start and reconfigure it, so I googled  and found the PlatformIO
</div>

<p dir="ltr">
  PlatformIO is based on github atom ide
</p>

  In Atom :
