I'm totally new here,

I followed the instructions in the Readme, while installing Stino.
I got the following when I ran this code

same problem. anyone has a fix ?

[Lbeloni]

Same here! Spending lots of time here and nothing !! Anyone?

[ChrisBartley99]

Getting exactly the same issue ...
'{tools.gen_esp32part.cmd}' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

So near yet so far - frustrating

This is a way to fix the error temporarily.
Edit "platform.txt" file,

-tools.esptool_py={runtime.tools.esptool_py.path}
-tools.esptool_py.cmd=esptool
-tools.esptool_py.cmd.linux=esptool.py
-tools.esptool_py.cmd.windows=esptool.exe
+esptool_py.path={runtime.tools.esptool_py.path}
+esptool_py.cmd=esptool
+esptool_py.cmd.linux=esptool.py
+esptool_py.cmd.windows=esptool.exe

-tools.esptool_py.network_cmd=python "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/espota.py"
-tools.esptool_py.network_cmd.windows="{runtime.platform.path}/tools/espota.exe"
+esptool_py.network_cmd=python "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/espota.py"
+esptool_py.network_cmd.windows="{runtime.platform.path}/tools/espota.exe"

-tools.gen_esp32part.cmd=python "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.py"
-tools.gen_esp32part.cmd.windows="{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.exe"
+gen_esp32part.cmd=python "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.py"
+gen_esp32part.cmd.windows="{runtime.platform.path}/tools/gen_esp32part.exe"

The problem at here is the Stino is filtering string key "tools." to get command for Arduino upload, program and bootloader tools. So building tools use string "tools." for start string of variables will make Stino was misreaded
