can't compile code with arduino IDE 1.8.3

Simply cloned with submodules and tried to compile. Error:

nargls can be closed: this stupid arduinio IDE does not use the "local" libraries folder, but the "central" one. There are the wrong versions of libraries.

Maybe trying to get this to compile with platformIO would help: platformIO allows local libraries in the workspace.
