Installed and not installed cores. How to tell apart?

[ahsan-sabir]

readme file states that command "core search" returns a list of available packages with fields ID, Version, Installation and Name. But it seems the current version of arduino-cli doesnt return the Installation field. Is there any other way of telling apart the installed and not-installed packages?

$ arduino-cli core search arduino
Searching for platforms matching 'arduino'

ID              Version Installed       Name
Intel:arc32     2.0.2   No              Intel Curie Boards
arduino:avr     1.6.21  No              Arduino AVR Boards

Same goes for lib search.

Still stuck in the issue.
To be more clear, how to find out only the installed cores and libs?

Do arduino-cli core list and arduino-cli lib list help?

I'm using version arduino-cli Version: 0.3.7-alpha.preview Commit: BuildDate: 2019-07-10 15:39:56.926258169 +0000 UTC

@Ahsan2 I can confirm docs in the README are wrong, the Installed fields isn't shown anywhere and it's been like this since #48, I don't know that part well enough to say wether it was an oversight or a design choice.

I'll treat this issue as a documentation bug and fix it in the README. In the case arduino-cli core list doesn't fit your use case feel free to open a feature request to get the Installed column back.
