Before operation, please make sure Git and Arduino are correctly installed on you computer. If not, please refer to this document: How to install Git and Arduino IDE

 

Executed commands MUST under the [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec path!

  • Open a Git Bash session pointing to [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec and execute git clone https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series.git esp32

  • The final development framework location should be [YOUR_USER_NAME]/Documents/Arduino/hardware/heltec/esp32
  • Switch to the heltec directory via cd esp32 and execute git submodule update --init --recursive
