ESP32 Toolchain

Prior to installing the ESP32 toolchain, is vital that you update Flowcode components using the Full database option, then reload (Fle > reload) your project or start a new one.

Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the ESP32 toolchain then either rename your project or select the folder for your project that was created using the previous version of the ESP32 toolchain.

Download the ESP32 toolchain from the Toolchain section of the Flowcode Downloads page.

Save the ESP .msi file to your PC.

Right-click on the file and select install you will see:

Click Next

Select checkbox for I accept the terms of this Licence Agreement, then click Next again

The default drive will be on the same drive that the msi file is saved on.

You can change the drive, but you must leave FC_ESP as the default directory.

After clicking on Next you will need to click on Install, which will require Administration rights

There will be a User Account elevated prompt, which you will need to select Yes

The ESP32 Toolchain will now be installed.

Finally, click on Finish

If there was an issue with installing, then Add the msi file to the antivirus safe/whitelist and try again

When you compile for the first time, it will take considerably longer then subsequence compiles.

If there is the following error message:

'idf.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Then either Flowcode project was not reloaded after full component database update, or all the components have not been updated with the latest Version.

The following message can be ignored:

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
