Step 2. Get ESP-WHO

To build applications for the ESP32, you need the software libraries provided by

Espressif in ESP-WHO repository.

To get ESP-WHO, navigate to your installation directory and clone the repository

with git clone, following instructions below specific to your operating system.

Open Terminal, and run the following commands:

mkdir%userprofile%\esp

cd %userprofile%\esp

git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-who.git

Step 3. Set up the Tools

Aside from the ESP-IDF, you also need to install the tools used by ESP-IDF, such as the

compiler, debugger, Python packages, etc.

ESP-IDF Tools Installer for Windows introduced in Step 1 installs all the required tools.

If you want to install the tools without the help of the ESP-IDF Tools Installer, open the

Command Prompt and follow these steps:

cd %userprofile%\esp\esp-idf

install.bat

•

Customizing the tools installation path

The scripts introduced in this step install compilation tools required by ESP-IDF inside

the user home directory:

$HOME/.espressif on Linux and macOS, %USERPROFILE%.espressif on Windows. If

you wish to install the tools into a different directory, set the environment

variables IDF_TOOLS_PATH before running the installtion scripts. Make sure that your

user has sufficient permissions to read and write this path.

If changing the IDF_TOOLS_PATH, make sure it is set to the same value every time

the install.bat/install.sh and export.bat/export.sh scripts are executed.
