|
|
- Select ```Clone Existing Repository```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
- Sketchbook Directory: Usually ```C:/Users/[YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino``` and is listed underneath the "Sketchbook location" in Arduino preferences.
|
|
- Source Location: ```https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git```
|
|
- Target Directory: ```[ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR]/hardware/espressif/esp32```
|
|
- Click ```Clone``` to start cloning the repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- open a `Git Bash` session pointing to ```ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR``` and execute ```git submodule update --init --recursive```
|
|
- Open ```[ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK_DIR]/hardware/espressif/esp32/tools``` and double-click ```get.exe```
|
|
|
|
