Add IDF_PATH to User Profile
|
||
|
|
============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To preserve setting of ``IDF_PATH`` environment variable between system restarts, add it to the user profile, following instructions below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. _add-idf_path-to-profile-windows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The user profile scripts are contained in ``C:/msys32/etc/profile.d/`` directory. They are executed every time you open an MSYS2 window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Create a new script file in ``C:/msys32/etc/profile.d/`` directory. Name it ``export_idf_path.sh``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Identify the path to ESP-IDF directory. It is specific to your system configuration and may look something like ``C:\msys32\home\Krzysztof\esp\esp-idf``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Add the ``export`` command to the script file, e.g.::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
export IDF_PATH="C:/msys32/home/Krzysztof/esp/esp-idf"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remember to replace back-slashes with forward-slashes in the original Windows path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Save the script file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Close MSYS2 window and open it again. Check if ``IDF_PATH`` is set, by typing::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
printenv IDF_PATH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The path previusly entered in the script file should be printed out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do not like to have ``IDF_PATH`` set up permanently in user profile, you should enter it manually on opening of an MSYS2 window::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
export IDF_PATH="C:/msys32/home/Krzysztof/esp/esp-idf"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you got here from section :ref:`get-started-setup-path`, while installing s/w for ESP32 development, then go back to section :ref:`get-started-start-project`.

||

.. _add-idf_path-to-profile-linux-macos:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux and MacOS
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Set up ``IDF_PATH`` by adding the following line to ``~/.bash`` file: ::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
export IDF_PATH=~/esp/esp-idf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log off and log in back to make this change effective.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you do not like to have ``IDF_PATH`` set up permanently, you should enter it manually in terminal window on each restart or logout.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Run the following command to check if ``IDF_PATH`` is set::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
printenv IDF_PATH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The path previously entered in ``~/.bash`` file (or set manually) should be printed out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
