Describe the bug
Unable to build XZG

I've setup a Debian machine, and per the README have installed npm (from Debian repos) and platformio (using their installer script).

However, when I try to run platformio run, I get the following error:

``
$ platformio run
Processing prod-solo (platform: https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/releases/download/2023.07.00/platform-espressif32.zip; board: esp32-solo1; framework: arduino)

Verbose mode can be enabled via -v, --verbose option

Your machine doesn't have npm

Maybe it's better to clone the repository and build it in the cloud?
