This document is provided for advanced users who need to customize their installation, users who wish to understand the installation process, and ESP-IDF developers. The following sections explain the installation method, and provide the list of tools installed on each platform. Python scripts bundled with ESP-IDF (such as idf.py) Other kinds of tools used in ESP-IDF are: The rest of the document refers to these downloadable tools simply as “tools”. To solve these two problems, ESP-IDF provides a set of scripts for downloading and installing the correct versions of tools, and exposing them in the environment. Furthermore, different versions of ESP-IDF require different versions of the tools to operate correctly.
However, some of the tools are IDF-specific and are not available in OS package repositories. For example, on Linux and macOS it is recommended to install CMake using an OS package manager.
This recommendation is reflected in the Getting Started guide. Installing the tools using an OS-specific package manager (like apt, yum, brew, etc.) is the preferred method when the required version of the tool is available. ESP-IDF build process relies on a number of tools: cross-compiler toolchains, CMake build system, and others.
