-====== Installation ======
-===== Get ESP-IDF =====
-To build applications for the ESP32, you need the ESP-IDF software libraries provided by Espressif. To get ESP-IDF, navigate to your installation directory and clone the repository with git clone, following instructions:
-  cd ~/development/esp32
-  git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
-ESP-IDF will be downloaded into ~/esp/development/esp32/esp-idf.
-===== 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.
-The scripts below installs the compilation tools required by ESP-IDF inside the user home directory: __**$HOME/.espressif**__ on Linux. If you wish to install the tools into a different directory, set the environment variable **__IDF_TOOLS_PATH__** before running the installation scripts. Make sure that your user account 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 script (install.sh) and an Export script (export.sh) are executed.
-  cd ~/development/esp32/esp-idf
-  ./install.sh
-===== Set up the environment variables =====
-The installed tools are not yet added to the PATH environment variable. To make the tools usable from the command line, some environment variables must be set. ESP-IDF provides another script which does that.
-In the terminal where you are going to use ESP-IDF, run:
-  . $HOME/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
-Note the space between the leading dot and the path!
-You can also automate this step, making ESP-IDF tools available in every terminal, by adding this line to your .profile or .bash_profile script.
