Setting up Arduino IDE for ESP32 development (ESP32 + Arduino series)

By default, the Arduino IDE has no support for the ESP32. In this video I'll show how to install the necessary software to make it compatible.

Is it possible to install the esp32 software offline, in kind of the same way as installing libraries that you download, unzip and past in the library directory? I hope so because my devolopment pc is offline and I like it that way.

you forgot 1 thing, when you go to upload code the board your going ot need to select is the "esp32 dev module"

I followed all the steps, but for some reason it's still not working. Apparently Windows does not recognize the device and it's not showing up under ports in the "COM" ports in the Arduino IDE. I also tried installing the different drivers for the ESP32 as well (CP210x and CH34x). Any ideas on what else I can do? I've also tried several different USB cables too.

Hello, after I paste the link on preferences and go to tools to manage boards and look for ESP32, it doesn't appear in the options, any ideas why this might be happening?

"once you have the drivers installed"...What/which

I can't install ESP32 on Arduino when follow your step.

Ummmm this is all good but how do you setup the rest of it? Seems like every video I watch the person just shows a few ways to do something but never really shows how to actually complile it and upload to the device. It would be nice to find a video showing from start to finish. This video is just the few steps of actually making it work.
