This guide outlines the preliminary steps to set up your work environment and follow the workshops.

VS Code Installation
#

This guide uses Windows 11.
  • Once the .exe file is downloaded, double-click it and follow the installation steps.

After installation, there are two ways to open VS Code:

  1. Open VS Code from the Start menu
  2. Open VS Code from a folder

Since it’s often useful to open the editor directly from a folder, we’ll use the second method.

Open VS Code from a Folder
#

  • Create a new folder called tmp
  • Right-click inside the folder in File Explorer
  • From the menu, select Show more options
  • Click on Open with Code
  • You should now see the VS Code interface
VS Code may ask whether you trust the author of the folder. This is important when using git repositories, but for now it doesn’t matter. Click “Yes.”

Installing Prerequisites
#

No additional prerequisites need to be installed. These will be handled automatically during the setup of the ESP-IDF extension.
