ESP-IDF Installation Error.

Postby Vinayak » Thu Jul 15, 2021 4:50 pm

Hi ESP Community,
I am installing ESP-IDF but getting following errors. I followed this official link https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... requisites to install.

Hi @vinayak,
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\info\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\esp-idf;%IDF_PATH%\\tools\\tools/tools.json
`idf_tools.py install all` command is getting failed because of the bove path issue. It seems to be tools.json file path is not interpreted correctly. Could you verify IDE_PATH in the Eclipse CDT build environment variables?

FIXED
after much todo a friend "David" got his install to complete
he deleted the contents of the suggested install location C:\Users\xxxx\esp\
I tried that and the install still failed
I deleted the contents if the \esp suggested installation dir again
I also used the suggested dir for the tools install C:\Users\xxxx\esptools
I succeeded this time installing 4.4.2

I got this
WARNING: You are using pip version 20.3.3; however, version 22.2.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'C:\Users\JimNi\EspTools\python_env\idf4.4_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
As I have noticed in the past with most Microsoft products, if I accept the suggested defaults for install locations the install is successful more times than not.
