You will need to install ESP-IDF (ESP32 SDK). You can follow the steps below or the detailed instruction on https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/get-started/#setup-toolchain.

2. Get ESP-IDF: Export the environment variable IDF_PATH:

   export IDF_PATH=$HOME/<esp-idf>
   
   

Configuration

Before compiling, you need to alter several settings in menuconfig. Make sure you save this file, as it will be used in the build section to configure WiFi settings.

• Open the menuconfiguration with the command make menuconfig
• Scroll through each section of the menu, and make these changes:

• Serial flasher config
  • Default serial port = /dev/tty.usbserial-
• WiFi Configuration
  • WiFi SSID = YOUR SSID
  • WiFi Password = YOUR PASSWORD
