Virtual machine to install Ubuntu - 20.04
Espressif ESP-IDF Toolchain
ESP-IDF is Espressif's official IoT development framework for ESP32, ESP32-S and ESP32-C series SoCs. It provides a self-sufficient SDK based on the C/C++ language to facilitate users to develop general-purpose applications on these platforms.
Judging from the current feedback on our side, most of the first-time ESP32users are ESP-IDFstill not friendly enough to install, difficult to install, and situations such as installation to abandonment.
Therefore, we are here to write this article based on the construction tutorial on Espressif's official website to help more users, and also record the various problems and solutions I have encountered during multiple installations.

VMWARE virtual machine software
VMware is the global leader in desktop and data center virtualization solutions. , Through this software, we can run more Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, DOS and other systems on one computer at the same time without reinstalling our own system. I believe most users are using the windows system.
For most users, there is no separate computer to install linux and other systems for development . Therefore, we recommend installing it on for development withoutESP32 affecting the user's original computer . Of course, there are other virtual machine software you can also choose.VMwareUbuntuESP32
Long story short, let's move on to the installation process.
