• libudev-dev is only required when installing cargo-espflash.
• python3 and python3-pip are only required when installing ESP-IDF.
• libtinfo5 is required by LLVM 15.
• Fedora

sudo dnf -y install git python3 python3-pip gcc systemd-devel ncurses-compat-libs

• systemd-devel is only required when installing cargo-espflash.
• python3 and python3-pip are only required when installing ESP-IDF.
• ncurses-compat-libs is required by LLVM 15.
• openSUSE Thumbleweed/Leap

sudo zypper install -y git gcc libudev-devel ninja python3 python3-pip make libncurses5

• libudev-devel is only required when installing cargo-espflash.
• python3 and python3-pip are only required when installing ESP-IDF.

Installation

cargo install espup --git https://github.com/esp-rs/espup

It's also possible to directly download the pre-compiled release binaries or using cargo-binstall.

Quickstart

See Usage section for more details.

Install

• no_std

  espup install
  # Unix
  . ./export-esp.sh
  # Windows
  .\export-esp.ps1
  

• std: Installing esp-idf via espup is not mandatory, as esp-idf-sys already takes care of it, but has some benefits.

  espup install --espidf-version <ESPIDF_VERSION>
  # Unix
  . ./export-esp.sh
  # Windows
  .\export-esp.ps1
  

Warning

The generated export file, by default export-esp, needs to be sourced in every terminal before building an application.

Known Issues or Limitations

• If installing esp-idf in Windows, only all targets is allowed.
• In Windows, when installing esp-idf fails with:

  ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement windows-curses; sys_platform == "win32" (from esp-windows-curses) (from versions: none)
  ERROR: No matching distribution found for windows-curses; sys_platform == "win32"

  Solution: Use a python version between 3.6 and 3.10 as 3.11 Python wheels are not yet released for Windows.
