Description

The documentation https://github.com/platformio/platformio-docs/blob/develop/integration/ide/codeanywhere.rst is obviously obsolete. When connecting to Codeanywhere, the screens and container options are totally different, now. Obviously, there have been changes on the Codeanywhere side. Unfortunately, even when creating successfully a Python/Ubuntu container, step 4 of the tutorial
sudo python -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio/develop/scripts/get-platformio.py)" fails with an error message and it is thus impossible to run platformio on Codeanywhere.

Research direction

Start with integration/ide/codeanywhere.rst, especially the container setup and step 4 installation command. Check the current Codeanywhere screens and container options, then reproduce the reported installation failure in a Python/Ubuntu container. Done means the obsolete steps are updated and the PlatformIO installation instructions work or the limitation is clearly documented.
