The best success is to use PlatformIO (and it is the only platform where I can support you).

* Go to [PlatformIO ](https://platformio.org/ ) download and install the IDE.
* If installed open the IDE, go to the left side and klick on 'extensions' then search for 'PatformIO' and install.
* When installed click 'the ant head' on the left and choose import the project on the right.
* Just open the folder and you can compile the Firmware.
