	Hi all, I have a project (which is saved on a git server). This project requires arduino libraries. I don't want install these libraries to avoid missing them in the future. So I would like to have them in my project folder (also saved on the git server). So, is there a way to achieve this ? I created a "Libraries" folder in my project folder and put my libraries folder on it. But it does not work

	If you want to capture your libraries alongside the project/solution, there is now a simpler file system based approach which is detailed on the below page, which is easier to move between machines, and does not directly affect the solution/project files so cannot generate the same issues you are seeing here in the future: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/How-to-Encapsulate-Libraries-Within-a-Solution.... note: It is also possible to encapsulate the entire board core and libraries in a "portable" folder below a solution. Let us know if you need the link for that but it is listed on the docs page.
