You were right. I needed to add the PlatformIO path to my .profile. Thanks for your help.

I run into the same issue (Ubuntu), is related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-29187/Clion-and-PlatformIO-using-defaults-does-not-find-the-PIO-installation. Clion don’t use the PATH Variable from .bashrc, as suggested in the issue i tried to start clion from cli but i don’t fixed the issue for me.

The following workaround works fine for me (create symlinks instead of appending to the PATH)

ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/platformio /home/<username>/.local/bin/platformio
ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/pio /home/<username>/.local/bin/pio
ln -s ~/.platformio/penv/bin/piodebuggdb /home/<username>/.local/bin/piodebuggdb
