Thanks for your request @javidizadi. Although it might be a reasonable design decision for the JetBrains products, the design of the Arduino IDE is intended to avoid any unnecessary complexity in the user interface in order to make it as approachable as possible to all users. In this case, adding a menu item that will only ever be used once doesn't make sense.

Better would be to provide such a capability from outside the application, such as by an installer of some sort.
